We are delighted to announce that at the Tenth Annual WealthBriefing MENA Awards for Excellence 2023, GSB clinched not one, but TWO prestigious industry awards, solidifying our position as leaders in Financial Services.
Award #2: Leading Female Executive Award: Alison Whatnall
Showcasing ‘best of breed’ in the MENA region, the awards have been designed to recognise outstanding organisations grouped by specialism and geography which the prestigious panel of independent judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during the last year’.
Each of these categories is highly contested and is subject to a rigorous process before the ultimate winner is selected by the judges. It is this process that makes WealthBriefing MENA awards so prized amongst winners.
The WealthBriefing MENA Awards are part of a global programme run by WealthBriefing and its sister publications WealthBriefing Asia and Family Wealth Report, encompassing all the world’s major wealth management centres.
Following the success, Ross Whatnall, Group CEO and Co-Founder, commented, “we have such a fantastic team and community at GSB led by an inspiring leadership team that has given Alison & me unwavering support, commitment and energy from day one; we’re so lucky and grateful to each and every one of them. This is the perfect way to end another ground-breaking year of growth for GSB. Thank you to all of our clients for trusting us and banging the GSB drum. We couldn’t have had such a huge impact without it! ”
On winning the prestigious Leading Female Executive Award, Alison Whatnall commented, “this achievement is not just a personal milestone, but a testament to the incredible GSB team, inspirational mentors, and key supporters who have played an integral role in my development as Group COO and Co-Founder at GSB over the last nearly three years. It wouldn’t have been possible without the collaborative efforts of an amazing team and the encouragement of those who believe in the vision and mission we share. This award is not just a reflection of my efforts but also a celebration of the collective success of the incredible female professionals at GSB. I am proud to work alongside some of the most intelligent, inspirational and driven women the Wealth Management industry has to offer. I am excited to see them progress professionally and drive forward disruptive change in our industry. Let’s continue to innovate, collaborate, and make a positive impact on the world.”
