Shah and Hogan join the company as directors and will work alongside Craig Somerset, whose appointment in April led to the establishment of RBC Wealth Management UK’s Middle East desk.
Shah was previously a director at HSBC, where she focused on high net worth and ultra high net worth clients in Lebanon and Syria. Hogan, formerly an associate director, was responsible for clients based in Saudi Arabia.
According to Harris, the appointments will allow RBC to grow its business among clients in the region who are looking for access to a range of banking, investment and trust solutions.
