What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a corporate banking leadership role where I can grow and retain client relationships, support credit decisioning with strong risk discipline, and drive cross-selling of multi-product solutions within a compliance-first culture.

I’m a seasoned banker with over 15 years’ experience in the Middle East, and I currently serve as Corporate Business Banking Team Leader at ABC Bank. I develop and maintain strong corporate client relationships, identify new business opportunities, and advise clients on suitable corporate banking products and services—while ensuring compliance with loan agreements.

Across my roles as Relationship Manager and Relationship Officer, I’ve assessed creditworthiness, reviewed financial statements, calculated risk metrics, and prepared credit reports to support lending decisions. I’ve also deployed excess liquidity of corporates into instruments yielding high returns, driven cross-selling and multi-product relationships, and strengthened growth—introducing key relationships with expected growth of 20% in multiple periods—always with strict KYC/AML discipline.
