"A very striking point about ADCB has been the continuity of its leadership."
Mohamed Sultan Ghannoum Al Hameli
The UAE remains our main market. This strategy was set post financial crisis and has been reaffirmed by the Board numerous times since. We will remain a UAE-centric bank, and work to extract as much value as we can from the local market.
We are very happy with and confident in the management of ADCB, and in the Bank's long-term vision and strategy that was put in place back in 2008 and 2009.
Sir Gerry Grimstone
A very striking point about ADCB has been the continuity of its leadership. We have a team of highly experienced people who are used to working together. They rebuilt the Bank after the financial crisis, and have created a highly performing Bank executing on a clear and well-defined strategy. Management is backed up by a very good Board.
The thing I notice at ADCB is how management and the independent Board Members work together as a team. The synergies that you get from that, the checks and balances, the positive challenge, the idea generation, is part of the success of ADCB.
