SBM Bank (Kenya) Limited has named Bhartesh Shah as its new Chief Executive Officer, ushering in a new era for the Nairobi-based lender.

Shah, a seasoned banking veteran with over two decades of experience across Africa, Asia, and Europe, assumes the helm from Moezz Mir, who departs after a six-year tenure marked by transformative growth.

“Bhartesh Shah is a well-suited candidate who will lead the Bank in achieving its growth goals to become the predominant leader in the Kenyan market,” said Sattar Hajee Abdoula, Chairman of SBM Bank Kenya’s Board. “His strategic vision will drive essential business transformation to enhance our impact on economies and communities.”

Shah brings a wealth of expertise honed at financial powerhouses like I&M Group, Equity Group Holdings, Standard Chartered, Citibank, and Midland Bank (HSBC). An MBA graduate from the University of Warwick, he is widely regarded for his acumen in operational management, strategy, and business development.

As Shah takes the reins, SBM Bank Kenya finds itself at an inflection point, seeking to capitalize on the solid foundation laid by his predecessor.
