Deutsche Bank Names Head Of Wealth Management For Gulf Region
The German bank has appointed new leadership for its regional client coverage.
Deutsche Bank has appointed Fred Hilal as head of wealth management in the Gulf region (excluding Saudi Arabia), replacing Callum Watts-Rehman, who left the lender in August last year to pursue a career outside of financial services.
Based in Dubai, Hilal will report to Steve Wainwright, head of
wealth management Middle East and Africa.
Hilal has more than 20 years' experience across the wealth
management industry. He spent the majority of his career with
Merrill Lynch,
where he held various senior leadership positions within its
wealth management division in Dubai, Monaco, Geneva and Lebanon,
including global head of wealth management, Middle East, and
country executive, Monaco.
In his new role, Hilal will lead the Frankfurt-headquartered
bank's client coverage across the Gulf.
“Fred has a solid track record in this industry and is an
invaluable addition to our MEA wealth management platform. His
regional experience and deep market insights complement the well
established strength of our local team and will add further
momentum to the growth of our business,” said Jamal Al Kishi,
chief executive MEA.
