As part of the broader strategic transformation led by Solidarity Group Holding, and following the successful merger of Bahrain National Insurance Company (bni) and Bahrain National Life Assurance Company (bnl), Solidarity Bahrain, the group’s subsidiary, proudly announces the appointment of nine distinguished Bahraini leaders, in recognition of their instrumental role in delivering one of the kingdom’s most significant insurance sector mergers.
The group remains firmly committed to advancing Bahrainisation across its subsidiary as a strategic priority and a cornerstone of its long-term sustainability.
It’s worth mentioning that Solidarity Bahrain post-merger maintains a national talent representation of 95 per cent of its total workforce, reflecting a deliberate and sustained investment in developing Bahraini capabilities across all levels of the company.
As part of this milestone, Solidarity Bahrain has appointed Enas Asiri as deputy chief executive – life and medical, and Amer Janahi as deputy chief executive – corporate support. The company has also appointed Husain Sabt as chief innovation and strategy officer, Ali Shaban as chief motor insurance officer, Yasmeen Ameeri as chief general insurance officer, Rashid Turk as chief medical operations officer, alongside Eman Al Ghanami, chief medical underwriting officer, Omar Al Aseeri, chief life insurance officer and Abdulla Al Basteki as head of compliance, legal and MLRO.
These appointments reflect Solidarity’s firm belief that its national human capital is the most valuable asset and the cornerstone of its long-term success. The newly appointed leaders have demonstrated exceptional stewardship throughout the merger process, ensuring operational continuity, navigating cross-functional collaboration, strengthening governance frameworks, and fostering a unified culture during the merger journey.
Commenting on the announcement, Solidarity Group Holding Group chief executive Ashraf Bseisu said: “While the merger represents a major strategic milestone, its success was ultimately achieved by our people. The merger of three established entities into one unified insurer required discipline, collaboration, and decisive leadership at every level. We are proud to recognise Bahraini leaders who rose to the occasion and demonstrated the capability required to guide the organization through a transformative chapter.”
He added: “The resilience of the team, their professionalism, and shared vision enabled us to execute a complex merger with discipline and confidence. Investing in Bahraini talent and empowering national leadership remains central to our strategy.”
Commenting on the appointments, Solidarity Bahrain chief executive officer Jawad Mohammed said: “This milestone reaffirms Solidarity’s commitment to developing national talent. The seamless transition, operational continuity, and strengthened market position we achieved were made possible by leaders who embraced accountability and worked with a shared sense of purpose. These appointments reflect our confidence in their ability to drive the next phase of growth, innovation, and service excellence.”
By elevating national talent into critical leadership positions, Solidarity reinforces its commitment to developing Bahraini cadres, strengthening succession planning, and building a resilient, future-ready organisation aligned with the kingdom’s long-term economic vision.
With a unified structure, strengthened governance, and an empowered leadership team, Solidarity Bahrain is well-positioned to build on the momentum of the merger, accelerate innovation, and continue delivering sustainable value to shareholders and stakeholders alike.
