Mr. Hussain, who began his career with J&K Bank won the award for his vision and leadership in GRC at Qatar Development Bank. With over 20 years of experience in enterprise risk, credit risk, and other governance functions, he has a deep understanding of GRC. As the executive sponsor for the GRC project at Qatar Development Bank, Mr. Hussain has played a pivotal role in educating business unit heads on the project, driving consensus amongst stakeholders, and ensuring that change management and user adoption is swift and smooth. Today, Mr. Hussain is a strong champion for integrated GRC, and he is a sought-after speaker and active participant in various industry associations such as GARP and the Credit Risk Group.
“I am both humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Mr. Hussain.

Without them, our GRC journey would not have been as successful as it proved to be, nor would it have been possible to reach the milestones that we have. I would also like to express my appreciation to the Head of Internal Audit, Adel Eldesouky, the Head of Compliance, Hamad Haider, and the CEO, Abdulaziz Nasser Al-Khalifa for their complete buy-in and support throughout this project.”
