Maybank Appoints New Group CEO for Islamic Banking
Maybank has appointed Mohamad Yasin Abdullah as the new group CEO of Islamic Banking and CEO of Maybank Islamic, effective 1 October. Yasin, who has over 28 years of experience in banking and finance, will oversee the bank's Islamic finance operations and report to Datuk Seri Khairussaleh Ramli, Maybank's president and group CEO.
Yasin will lead the development of business strategy, products, and innovation, ensuring Shariah compliance. He previously served in various senior roles at Maybank since joining in 1997. The appointment reflects the bank's strong succession planning and leadership development, as noted by Khairussaleh.
In another key appointment, Malique Firdauz Ahmad Sidique has been named group chief audit executive. He will focus on transforming the group audit function and strengthening risk governance, reporting to both the audit committee of the board and the president. Firdauz succeeds Yasin, who introduced the Maybank Group Audit Strategic Plan 2023-2025 (GRASP25) during his tenure.
These appointments come as part of Maybank's top leadership reshuffle. Nor azlan Ghazali has been appointed as the new Group CEO of Islamic Banking, effective October 1. The bank aims to enhance value delivery to customers and stakeholders through these strategic appointments and succession planning.
