Barclays appointed two major leaders, Khaled Eldabag and Walid Mezher, as the Co-CEOs of the Middle East region.
Khaled Eldabag brings nearly three decades of experience in the financial services sector. He has worked with popular companies like Merrill Lynch, Stephens Inc., and Goldman Sachs. He has been associated with Barclays Investment Bank for over a decade and has been contributing immensely to the investment banking industry.
Walid Mezher brings 20+ years of experience in the banking sector. He has been working with Barclays for the last 18 years. He has served as the Head of Markets for the MENA region and also supervised sales in the Middle East and Africa. Before joining Barclays, he had worked with GE HealthCare, Byblos Bank Group, and HSBC.
Stephen Dainton, BBPLC President and Head of Investment Bank Management, commented on the new appointments, “As the Middle East continues to play a bigger role in shaping global capital markets and attracting more wealth, the region is also becoming increasingly important to Barclays’ overall success and to the execution of our three-year plan.” He further continued, “Bringing together senior leaders from our Investment Banking and Global Markets businesses will help further drive efficiency and collaboration in delivering one bank for our local and global clients.”
