Diyar Al Muharraq, one of the leading urban developers in the Kingdom of Bahrain, announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Subhas Chandra, recently won two acclaimed awards at the distinguished MENA CFO Awards.

The MENA CFO Awards was organized by Naseba as part of the 2-day CFO Strategies Forum MENA, and was held at the Taj Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Over 200 leading chief financial officers in the region attended the premier ceremony and their accomplishments in their respective fields were celebrated by honouring them with illustrious awards spanning six substantial categories. The award is given after going through nominations invited from MENA CFO from across the public and private sectors. The Jury then selects the honourees after a rigorous evaluation process.

Mr. Subhas Chandra, the Chief Financial Officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, had an extraordinary showing at the awards, both earning the title of ‘Finance Professional of the Year’ and ranking second in the ‘Revolutionary CFO of the Year’ category, capping a strong year for the finance professional.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Executive Officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, Dr. Maher Al Shaer said: “We are immensely pleased to celebrate the success attained by our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Subhas Chandra, at the MENA CFO Awards. This achievement reflects Diyar Al Muharraq’s keenness to invest in the growth and professional expertise of its personnel in all its departments, and rather than rest on our laurels, these recognitions only inspire us to exceed our current standards and achieve an even higher level of creativity and productivity. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for all the efforts made by our esteemed colleague in achieving this great distinction among his peers in the region, as we proudly embrace his success as our own.”

From his side, Chief Financial Officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, Mr. Subhas Chandra said: “It is a great honor to be given the opportunity to represent both myself and Diyar Al Muharraq at the renowned MENA CFO Awards, and to be recognized in not one, but two categories amongst a group of my peers that make up the most accomplished finance professionals in the region. Therefore, it brings me great personal pride to be titled as the ‘Finance Professional of the Year’ and be named second in the ‘Revolutionary CFO of the Year’. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Dr. Maher for structuring an environment that breeds high levels of productivity and a need for constant success. It is indeed an immense pleasure to work under his visionary leadership qualities. And as he has led by example right from the beginning, I would like to dedicate these awards to the integral role he has played as a guiding beacon to success.”
