Shariah compliant home finance business Salaam Finance has appointed two non-executive directors and a new chair of its advisory board.
Chairman John Hewson announced the appointments of Aamir Rehman (pictured above left) and Frank Ganis (pictured above right) to the board, along with Bill Moss (pictured above centre) as chair of the advisory board.
Rehman, chair of Innate Capital Partners, has over 20 years of experience in values-aligned investment and has served as an investor, advisor, author, and educator. He has also been a senior advisor on Islamic finance to the United Nations Development Programme and consulted the World Bank Group on the impact of Islamic finance on development and financial inclusion.
Ganis brings over 40 years of experience in banking and finance, and is recognised as an influential industry leader in Australia. He spent 28 years at Macquarie Group, including 17 years as an executive director, where he co-founded and established Macquarie’s mortgages and securitisation business.
Moss, a prominent Australian businessman and philanthropist, spent 23 years at Macquarie Banking and Real Estate Group, serving as a senior executive, executive director, and group head. He is currently the chairman and founder of Boston Global’s Family Office.
“The experience, guidance and integrity that Aamir, Frank and Bill bring to our new specialised Islamic home-finance solution will further position us to meet the needs and aspirations of not only Muslims but to all Australians,” Hewson said.
“I am looking forward to working with these gentlemen and fellow board members to provide a genuine, honest and transparent housing finance product at this very challenging time in the housing sector.”
