Ahmad AlFarabi Joins Altea Partners to Lead Saudi Growth

AlFarabi arrives from BSF Capital, where he previously served as Head of Investment Solutions & Advisory. His 15-year career includes senior roles at Credit Suisse, Banque Saudi Fransi, and NCB, where he specialized in discretionary portfolio mandates and structured financing for ultra-high-net-worth clients and family offices. This move marks a reunion with Nawaf AlOtaibi, the Managing Partner and CEO of Altea Partners Saudi Arabia; the pair previously collaborated to build a prominent wealth management platform at BSF Capital.

In his new capacity, AlFarabi will report directly to AlOtaibi, overseeing the firm's private client coverage and capital formation strategy across the region. AlOtaibi described the addition as a vital component for accelerating the firm's local platform, noting AlFarabi’s track record in securing client trust. Co-founders Henning Behre and Kabir Chhatwani emphasized that the appointment reinforces their model of combining independent advisory services with aligned capital as they scale operations in Saudi Arabia.
