The bank, which is owned by French bank Société Générale, hired Mayssoun Habra as senior private banker in the Middle East as part of a continuing expansion.

She will report to Phil McIlwraith, group commercial director at SG Hambros, and Patrick Thiriet, global market manager for the Middle East.
