KUALA LUMPUR: Standard Chartered Saadiq Malaysia has appointed Bilal Parvaiz as its chief executive officer (CEO) with effect from March 15, 2024.
In a statement today, the bank said Bilal will take over the reins from Mohd Suhaimi Abdul Hamid who will be stepping down to pursue other opportunities.
He will be reporting to Standard Chartered Malaysia chief executive officer Mak Joon Nien and Standard Chartered Saadiq chief executive officer of group Islamic banking Khurram Hilal.
"With almost 20 years of specialisation in the global and local Islamic Banking industry, Bilal is an established Islamic banker with a proven track record.
"His appointment is in line with the Bank's succession plan, and I am confident he will bring tremendous value to the bank with his strong leadership skills, deep industry knowledge and good rapport with clients," Mak said commenting on Bilal's appointment.
Bilal joined Saadiq Malaysia in 2014 after completing his four-year career at Standard Chartered Saadiq, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
He was most recently the bank's head of Islamic corporate, commercial and institutional banking (CCIB) and the country champion for sustainable finance.
