Sarah Al-Suhaimi will become the first female chief executive officer of a Saudi Arabian investment bank after she is hired by NCB Capital, following CMA approval. She is also member of the board and replaces Tariq Linjawi, the departing acting CEO.

Al-Suhaimi will join from Jadwa Investment where she was head of asset management and CIO, managing over SR17 billion of assets in public and private equity, real estate and fixed income.

Mansour Al Maiman, chairman of NCB Capital, said: "Sarah is a highly-experienced investment professional, with a proven track record of successful leadership in the industry. She has played a pivotal role in launching award-winning funds and growing asset management businesses. We are delighted that she is joining us. We would also like to thank Tariq Linjawi for his commitment to managing the firm through a period of transition."
