GSB Financial Services has appointed Joseph Jawad as a senior partner at GSB Private, located in the company’s Dubai branch.
Jawad has moved to the company from Schroders, a multinational investment manager, where he worked as a client relationship director situated in Switzerland.
He oversaw the bank’s coverage of Middle Eastern wealth managers and financial organisations while he was at Schroders, where he also provided services to affluent families around the GCC.
Jawad had previously worked for Standard Bank Group, HSBC, and Arbuthnot Latham, and has served Middle Eastern families by working in London, Geneva, Dubai, Jersey, and other prominent financial hubs.
He focuses on working with family offices and key family advisers to address the various difficulties and responsibilities that come with significant wealth.
David Smylie, group head of GSB Private, stated: “We are delighted to welcome Joseph to the GSB Private team, and he brings considerable experience across our three core service lines; Private Banking, Private Office, and Private Finance. Joseph’s skillset, dynamism and knowledge & experience of the region will add huge value and further bolster GSB’s capabilities.”
The hire follows the establishment of the GSB Capital division, which specialises in M&A, growth capital, direct investment, and a variety of other advisory services.
With teams in the UK and the UAE, the new subsidiary GSB Capital offers M&A, growth capital (debt and equity), direct investment, debt advising, and other advisory services.
