This clip is from once upon a time.. When a small bank dared to dream big. The bank was Kuwait Finance House-Bahrain and leading the bank was Abdulhakeem Alkhayyat. The only way forward was digital. Ask was to re-invent the bank’s business model, shaking the very foundation on which it was established decades earlier. All this had to be done with little margin for error and with limited budget. Year was 2018. In my first session with him he said something that became a life lesson for me. He said: Ashar, I know you know nothing about technology. But I have known you for 20 years. You understand how Islamic banks operate, and, I trust you. I know if you have skin in the game, you will make it happen. I also realize there will be times when you will fall, but I am absolutely clear that you will never let us fail. In the years following, Abdulhakeem led from front. I saw him galvanizing young with the experienced. I saw him inspiring confidence in the team. Creating leaders. Throughout this journey, he has been hands-on, trusting, willing to accept failed experiments, always pushing for excellence, super grounded, fact-driven, risk taker, rewarding performance, fair, and of course all the time raising the bar.. His team shined. The bank has led the market on all fronts…. CAC, ARPU, ROI, cost to build, cost to scale, … you name it. Not playing by the book, they created history. And today as Brand #Jazeel transforms into KFH-Bahrain, it has excited tens of thousands of its loyal customers with more than 125 fresh digital experiences. Its just wow! From creating a unified banking market for 35 million GCC nationals, to introducing instant finance, to helping you manage your money aligned to your financial values, to being Sharia compliant, the bank resonates so beautifully with its fast growing customer base in Bahrain and rest of GCC incl Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and Oman. Reminds me of another great leader who famously said: If you do not give up, you will win from the most incredible position. The fight is in the mind. Congratulations to Team Abdulhakeem Alkhayyat on this fantastic achievement. Aion Digital Spire Tech crediflo
