DUBAI: GFH Financial Group has appointed Tariq Al Samahiji as CEO of its UK operations.
The Group said Al Samahiji will be responsible for driving further expansion of GFH’s international presence, crediting him with more than two decades of experience in the global banking sector across Asset Management, Capital Markets, Islamic Finance and Credit.
Al Samahiji had recently co-founded Orpheus Partners, the GP capital advisory partnership of which he remains non-executive chairman.
Before that, he was the CEO of BNP Paribas Najmah and the Global Head of BNP Paribas Islamic Finance and Investments.
GFH said it currently has assets of over $12 billion globally and looks to build its international portfolio through organic and inorganic growth.
GFH is registered in the UK as a representative office of its Bahrain headquarters in April 2019 and went on in December 2020 to acquire a majority stake in Roebuck Asset Management, a real estate asset manager focused on the UK and European logistics and business space.
