					With the long strides Futurebank has taken in the years 
					since my post here, I look forward to understanding its new 
					culture, ethos, dynamics as I strive towards taking it 
					forward. Though my relationship with Futurebank has been for 
					many years i.e. from July 2004 up to end of September 2006 
					as a Deputy CEO & then from September 2006 to September 2010 
					as a non Executive Board Member, the challenges and 
					opportunities of my new role excites me immensely.” 
					 
					
					
					Futurebank has enjoyed phenomenal growth under the very able 
					leadership of Dr. Seif, my predecessor, and I hope to 
					continue in his footsteps by continuing to provide a 
					personalized form of banking to our core-base of clients, I 
					hope to strengthen Futurebank’s already stalwart presence 
					within the Bahraini banking and finance industry,” he added.
					
					
					Futurebank which has had a steady growth, reporting a net 
					profit of BD 5.17 million for the first half-year of 2010 
					and a profit of BD 2.53 million for the quarter ended 30 
					June 2010, hopes to attain new standards of growth under the 
					able guidance of its new CEO, Mr. Souri.  
					
					Welcoming Mr. Souri on board Dr. Hamid Borhani, Chairman, 
					Futurebank said,” I am very pleased to welcome my good 
					friend and longtime colleague, Mr. Souri, on board and wish 
					him monumental success in this latest venture. Although Dr. 
					Seif will be dearly missed in his post, he will continue to 
					service Futurebank as a Board member for the upcoming years. 
					Having recruited the right man for the top job, I am 
					confident that Mr. Souri’s multi-GCC experience makes him 
					the right person to take Futurebank into the new future.
