KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd has appointed Azdini Nor Azman as the chief executive officer (CEO) and non-independent executive director of wholly owned subsidiary BIMB Investment Management Bhd effective August 1, 2023.
The group said Azdini, who joined BIMB Investment as acting CEO on March 1, 2023, assumed the CEO position after receiving official approval from the Securities Commission.

She is currently a member of Bank Negara Malaysia’s Islamic Financial Market Subcommittee for 2022 and 2023.
“Notably recognised for her accomplishments, Azdini was prominently ranked within the top 100 of WOMANi’s Most Influential Women in Islamic Business and Finance 2020 Report,” the statement said.
Bank Islam group chief business officer (group institutional banking) Sharifah Sarah Syed Mohamed Tahir, who is also a BIMB Investment director, expressed confidence that Azdini would steer BIMB Investment in tackling challenges of the ever-evolving financial landscape and capitalising on emerging opportunities.
This, she said, would bring the firm to new heights and create long-term value for all stakeholders. — Bernama
