Tameer Microfinance Bank announced that Ali Riaz Chaudhry has assumed the role of bank\u2019s new President and Chief Executive Officer effective 16th May 2016. Ali was appointed to take charge after Telenor Group completed its 100% acquisition of Tameer Bank last month.<\/p>\n
Sharing his views, Nadeem Hussain, the founder and outgoing President and CEO of Tameer Bank, said: \u201cThere is nothing more satisfying than seeing one\u2019s efforts turn into a remarkable success, which is reflected in Tameer\u2019s acquisition by Telenor Group. I\u2019m pleased to pass on the torch to Ali Riaz Chaudhry who possesses the right experience and skills to take Tameer Bank to new heights.\u201d Nadeem will join Tameer Bank\u2019s board as a Director.<\/p>\n
Ali\u2019s appointment came at a time when Telenor Pakistan is transferring the management of Easypaisa to Tameer Bank. Upon assuming his new role, Ali said \u201cWe bid farewell to Nadeem Hussain, a very competent leader who transformed his ambitions into an immensely successful reality. I am excited to be a part of Tameer Bank.\u201d Highlighting that Tameer now has an even stronger platform to scale digital financial services due to the convergence of conventional Microfinance banking and branchless banking, Ali emphasized, \u201cWe take pride in driving innovation for the entire financial ecosystem in the country. Our strategy remains transforming \u2018banking-for-a-few\u2019 to \u2018banking-for-all\u2019 and empowering Pakistanis on a larger scale than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael Foley, Chairman of the Board Tameer Bank, said, \u201cWhile I welcome Ali Riaz Chaudhry aboard,\u00a0 I pay my respects to Nadeem Hussain, the outgoing President & CEO of Tameer Bank. He\u2019s an inspiration for all of us for how he turned his idea of a microfinance bank into a huge success with hard work and determination. As Nadeem moves on to assume another key role, I am convinced that Ali Riaz Chaudhry will carry Nadeem\u2019s mission forward and bring more success to the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
