His in-depth experience of working in the financial services industry across the Middle East makes him an ideal candidate to run our newly launched office in Bahrain. Not only has he led cross-sector teams and developed significant business contacts in the region, he’s also recruited and developed Bahraini consultants to drive local activities on the ground, taking the type of client-centric approach that ADL is renowned for.”
