Riyad Bank has appointed Anjum Mirza as the lender's first head of structured trade finance and supply chain finance.
Mirza started the role, which is part of global transaction banking and based in Riyadh, on November 9.
He was previously head of trade finance solutions at crosstown bank SNB and prior to that was head of trade finance at the National Commercial Bank - AlahliNCB.
"It's an honour to join Riyad Bank; a bank with strong corporate banking DNA backed by a transaction banking footprint in local and international markets," Mirza said.
"I look forward to contributing to enhancing the trade finance value proposition to even further heights."
The Saudi trade and supply chain finance market is developing amid a government push to diversify the kingdom's exports, as well as reforms such as a security register and the ramping up of activities at Saudi Exim, which was launched in 2021.
