Diamond Trust Bank Kenya Names Murali Natarajan as MD and CEO as Nasim Devji Focuses Solely on Group Leadership

Diamond Trust Bank Kenya has appointed Murali Natarajan as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, the bank announced on 31 October 2024. Natarajan takes over the leadership of Kenya's operations as the group implements a structural separation between the management of its Kenyan subsidiary and the broader regional Group CEO responsibilities, which will now be held exclusively by Nasim Devji.

Devji had previously combined the Group CEO role with the Kenya MD and CEO responsibilities. Under the new structure, Devji will focus on overseeing DTB's East African entities at group level, while Natarajan assumes day-to-day responsibility for banking operations in Kenya.

NATARAJAN BRINGS FIFTEEN YEARS OF BANK LEADERSHIP

He served as Managing Director and CEO of DCB Bank in India for fifteen years, departing that role in April 2024.

GROUP STRUCTURE

DTB operates across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi.
