Relationship Manager Corporate Banking at Industrial and commercial bank of China
  • Qatar - Doha
  • June 2020 to June 2023

As a Relationship Manager in Wholesale Banking at ICBC Bank, I had the privilege of working with some of the largest and most complex clients in the industry. With almost one year of experience, I developed a deep understanding of financial products and services, as well as the regulatory environment in which we operate.
During my time at ICBC Bank, I successfully managed a portfolio of Public sector and Large corporate clients while delivering exceptional customer service. I was responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with clients, identifying opportunities to cross-sell and upsell products, and managing complex negotiations.
I am particularly proud of my track record of success in driving revenue growth for my organization. I consistently exceeded sales targets and contributed to the growth of the bank's wholesale banking business.

Relationship Manager Corporate Banking at Gulf Bank
  • Kuwait - Al Kuwait
  • January 2011 to June 2020

As a Relationship Manager of corporate banking at Gulf Bank. In this role, I was responsible for developing and maintaining strong relationships with private corporate clients as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). I work closely with clients to understand their financial needs and provide customized solutions to meet those needs, while ensuring sound credit quality and compliance with regulations and policies. My expertise in credit analysis and risk assessment allows me to evaluate clients' creditworthiness and recommend appropriate credit facilities. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and building long-lasting relationships with clients. It's a challenging and rewarding role, and I'm proud to be a part of such a dynamic team.

In addition, I had the privilege of working on a project with the Kuwait National Fund for startups and existing businesses. We collaborated with the fund to enable Kuwaiti citizens to apply for credit loans to start or expand their businesses. As part of this project, I analyzed over 300 business plans from promotors in various sectors, including retail, manufacturing, food and beverage, and technology. I worked closely with clients to ensure that their business plans were comprehensive and met the fund's requirements and then we submitted the applications to the Kuwait National Fund committee for approval. It was a great experience to be part of a project that supports entrepreneurship and helps local businesses grow. I’m proud to have played a role in this initiative and will always value the experience gained from working on this project
