In May, the retail broker appointed Mahmoud Elbakatoushy as Vice President and promoted Amr Masry to the position of Sales Director. The firm also promoted Fayez Alkhouli to the position of the Vice President of Sales in the same month.

Still in May, Amana Capital further expanded its leadership team by appointing Matt Carstens as its new Director of Product Experience and Justin Biebel as the Director of Product Implementation. A month earlier, the broker chose Joy Dabeet as its new Chief Marketing Office and hired Mani Sahota as its new Chief Information Officer in March to growth its digital presence.

Apart from promotions and executive role reshuffles, a number of executives have also departed from Amana Capital in the past months. In September, Karim Malas left his role as the Director of Operations at the brokerage to join Credit Financier Invest as the Global Head of Operations. Malas left Amana Capital after almost nine years of working at the broker.
