Maybank has reshuffled its top leadership, appointing Mohamad Yasin Abdullah as group CEO of Islamic Banking and CEO of Maybank Islamic, effective 1 October, according to The Star.
In his new role, Mohamad Yasin will oversee Maybank’s Islamic finance operations, including business strategy, product development, innovation and Shariah compliance.
He will report to Maybank president and group CEO Datuk Seri Khairussaleh Ramli and join the group executive committee.
Mohamad Yasin currently serves as group chief audit executive, where he introduced the Maybank Group Audit Strategic Plan 2023–2025 (GRASP25).
The initiative has strengthened the bank’s audit framework through global best practices and enhanced governance.
With over 28 years of experience in banking and finance, he began his career at Maybank in 1997 before moving into senior finance roles outside the group, including chief financial officer.
He returned in 2010 as CFO of Maybank Investment Bank and later served as COO and CEO-International within the investment banking arm.
Alongside the appointment, Maybank named Malique Firdauz Ahmad Sidique as the new group chief audit executive, succeeding Mohamad Yasin.
Malique will report to both the audit committee of the board and the president and group CEO.
His focus will be on continuing the transformation of the group audit function and strengthening risk governance.
Khairussaleh said the appointments reflected the strength of Maybank’s succession planning and leadership development, adding that the move would support the bank’s long-term growth and enhance value delivery to customers and stakeholders.
