Mohammed Qasem Al Ali spearheads the management of the company’s growing portfolio of programmes and services. He is leading the way for the entire company and its employees to conceptualise new and innovative savings and investment initiatives for clients, all over the region, as well as globally.
Al Ali is committed to inspiring the public to adopt a culture of savings in order to achieve financial security and an enhanced quality of life. For him, delivering peace of mind to each customer is integral. Cultivating financial literacy is of utmost importance to him and he leads the organisation towards that goal, via various initiatives, offerings, communication and services.
Al Ali’s intuitive and results-oriented strategy is based on a two-way communication with stakeholders that integrates the community’s feedback in the creation and innovation of new programs and services. This open communication and an attitude of constant evolution is the reason why National Bonds continues to spread its client base throughout the region, as well as in multiple other countries.
He has overseen National Bonds’ digital transformation and expansion into new emirates, while savers and investors have seen positive annual growth, with bondholder portfolios worth AED8bn ($2.18bn) as of January.
