Savola Group appointed Omar Al-Farisi as a member of the company’ board of directors, who assumed the role since Monday, the company said in a statement.

 

He replaced Abdulraouf Mannaa who resigned from the board, according to a Tadawul statement released in February. Al-Farisi's term will expire in June 2016.

 

His appointment was approved by board members on April 19 but still needs to be passed by the general shareholders assembly.  

 

Al-Farisi previously served as a board director for Gulf International Bank in 2012, and has also held roles in the United States as an investment banker at Credit Suisse First Boston and a lawyer at White & Case in New York.

 

He has an economics degree from the University of Notre Dame and a JD from Columbia Law School in New York.
