"Under Majid's leadership, we look forward to building on and enhancing our current market position while providing an integrated banking experience for our high net worth individuals and institutional clients in Saudi Arabia."

Majid A. Al-Gwaiz will act as CEO of the Riyadh branch and will be responsible for driving the strategy, building upon business area initiatives and developing local solutions to serve high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, family owned companies, government and government-related entities and Saudi corporations.

Al-Gwaiz, who reports to Bruno Daher, CEO of Middle East and North Africa at Credit Suisse, joined Credit Suisse in July 2020.
