“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Fahad Al-Hesni, the former MD/CEO, for his tremendous contributions during his tenure with the company, and we wish him the best of luck in his future ventures,” it said.
Al-Jabr currently holds the position of deputy CEO and has more than 25 years of experience in the insurance and reinsurance sector. He held a host of executive roles ahead of joining Saudi Re in 2011, including as general manager of strategy management in Tawuniya. He also holds an MBA degree from Bradford University in the UK.
Al-Jabr’s appointment will take into effect on April 1, 2024. An announcement has been made via the Saudi exchange.
