Director, MENA Financial Institutions and Corporate Trade Sales, Bank of America
Fatenah has a coverage and transaction banker with a solid understanding of the local market, having spent over 19 years working in the MENA region’s banking sector. I have worked across a broad spectrum of geographies and functions, commencing my career in Kuwait in Investment Banking, which eventually progressed to the GTB side at HSBC in Dubai, where I was tasked with increasing trade sales with Financial Institutions as well as structuring innovative solutions for them in the MENA region.
Fatenah also connected well with my clients, being well aware of their needs in the local market and capable of transacting with them in English, French and Arabic. Being both a communicator and organizer by nature, my colleagues and clients alike know me as a highly motivated individual who can always be trusted to “get things done” in any given situation. I do work well alone, but am at my best collaborating with others.
She also hold a MBA from New York University – Stern School of Business (with an exchange at London Business School), and a BA Economics from the University of Texas at Austin.
