The bank announced that Oliver Baillie has been appointed as head of cash management, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and GCC with responsibility for leading the cash management operations through developing innovative products, liaising with existing and potential corporate clients, and implementing long term solutions to try to improve client cash and liquidity management.
