Maybank has announced Dato’ Khairussaleh Ramli as its new group president and CEO (GPCEO), effective 1 May 2022, following Bank Negara Malaysia’s approval. He replaced Dato’ Sri Abdul Farid Alias.

Dato’ Khairussaleh, 54, was most recently the group management director for RHB Banking Group. 

Dato’ Khairussaleh previously worked with Maybank between November 2008 and  September 2013, and served as the group chief financial officer (CFO) before taking up the position of president director and CEO of Maybank’s Indonesian operations.
