Bahrain-based investment manager GFH Financial has appointed Ghazi Al Hajeri as group chairman.
He has served on the GFH board since 2017 and has been vice chairman since June 2021.
Al Hajeri succeeds Jassim Al-Seddiqi who has stepped down after seven years in the position. Edris Al Rafi will assume the vice chairman role.
The newly appointed chairman is also chief executive of Kuwait-based asset manager Wafra International Investment Company.
“I feel very privileged to take on this role as GFH continues to successfully execute its strategy, diversify its business lines and expand its international presence and portfolio of investments,” said Al Hajeri.
“The group has effectively navigated challenging global market conditions and strengthened the foundations upon which it will continue to deliver value for shareholders and investors,” he added.
