I lead corporate banking portfolios, credit decisions, and client growth.

Lebanon
Message

At Bank of Beirut, I lead a corporate banking team of six Relationship Managers and oversee more than 250 corporate clients with combined facilities exceeding USD 800 million.

I've built and retained long-term corporate relationships, initiated new partnerships, and identified cross-selling opportunities alongside retail banking and structured products teams. I also contribute to budgetary frameworks and expansion strategies through market and opportunity assessments.

Across corporate banking, I coordinate with risk management, legal, and trade finance teams to support credit-line approvals, regulatory adherence, and disciplined follow-up. My work includes credit analysis, financial statement analysis, credit facility structuring, loan portfolio monitoring, and legal documentation review.

Having progressed from Credit Analyst and Credit Officer to Relationship Manager, Deputy Team Leader, and Team Leader, I enjoy coaching teams, strengthening processes, and helping clients access tailored financial solutions.
