He worked for Coutts and NatWest in the UK, as well as Julius Baer Middle East in Dubai, before taking up this position.

With more than 17 years of experience in the banking industry, Modha will carry along a unique mix of skills and a history of fostering the development of new business and enduring client relationships.

As part of the continued efforts to improve the banking offering, he joins after a number of recent, crucial recruitments.

His hiring is proof of the company's commitment to drawing in professionals with a range of fields, which strengthens the ability to provide customers with innovative ideas and first-rate service.

Moreover, with each new hire at Arbuthnot Latham, the bank strengthens its position as a financial firm that is ready to meet their customers' shifting needs and generate sustainable growth.
