With nearly two decades of experience in Islamic banking, risk management, and finance, Mr Alzakari previously held the role of chief risk officer at the bank, leading major governance and operational transformations.

Khaleeji Bank chairman Yousif Abdulla Taqi expressed full confidence in the move.

"We are confident in Mr Alzakari's ability to lead the bank in this next phase, given his strategic vision and proven track record in enhancing our institutional performance," he said.

Accepting the role, Mr Alzakari said he looked forward to working with the team to "build on the bank's achievements and drive innovation" while focusing on operational efficiency.

A chartered financial analyst (CFA), Mr Alzakari holds an MBA from London Business School and a bachelor's degree from City University's Cass Business School.

The bank noted that the appointment underscores its commitment to developing high-calibre national talent to lead its future operations.
