(Feb 10): Saudi Research & Marketing Group hired two bankers from Goldman Sachs Group Inc in the Gulf, as one of the Middle East’s biggest media companies shakes up its senior ranks and looks to bolster its regional and global presence.
Mohamed Nazer, who most recently served as executive director for Goldman in Riyadh, became the firm’s new chief financial officer earlier this year, according to his Linkedin profile. The Saudi company also named Abdulaziz Altayar, previously an associate for the US bank in Dubai, as its new head of corporate development, said people familiar with the matter.
A Goldman spokesman declined to comment on the departures.
