The new Dubai office shows Gottex's commitment to the Gulf area. With significant business lines already in the Middle East, Gottex views the region as one of its core growth areas over the coming years. The region and office will be managed by Hashem Arouzi, Managing Director and a founding partner of Gottex. Wassim Nasrallah, who recently joined Gottex from Lehman Brothers, will work alongside Hashem Arouzi in Dubai and co-manage the region.
Before joining Gottex, Wassim Nasrallah worked for Lehman Brothers International, where he was Head of Generalist Sales in Dubai for Capital Markets and Investment Management products. Previously whilst at Lehman he was closely involved in Private Investment Management in Boston, New York and Dubai. He contributed significantly to the positioning of Lehman in the Middle East region through his work with the different business areas of the firm. Wassim Nasrallah earned his Bachelor's degree and MBA from George Washington University in Washington DC.
Joachim Gottschalk, Chairman and CEO of Gottex, commented:
"We are very pleased to announce the opening of our new Dubai office which will enable us to better service and expand our Middle Eastern customer base. Similarly, we welcome Wassim to Gottex, who, with his extensive experience in the Gulf region, will be essential to our growth plans in the Middle East."
