CIBC First­Caribbean In­ter­na­tion­al Bank has an­nounced the ap­point­ment of An­tho­ny Seer­aj as the new man­ag­ing di­rec­tor for its Trinidad Op­er­at­ing Com­pa­ny ef­fec­tive April 15.

Seer­aj, who un­til re­cent­ly served as di­rec­tor, Cor­po­rate and In­vest­ment Bank­ing, Trinidad & Dutch An­tilles, is a ca­reer banker with ex­ten­sive ex­pe­ri­ence in cor­po­rate bank­ing with­in the Trinidad mar­ket­place. He will re­port to Irene Markus, man­ag­ing di­rec­tor, Whole­sale Bank­ing.

Seer­aj has over 25 years' ex­pe­ri­ence in the bank­ing sec­tor and is the hold­er of an MBA with a spe­cial­iza­tion in Fi­nance.

He was re­spon­si­ble for struc­tur­ing and ar­rang­ing large deals for the T&T Gov­ern­ment, sev­er­al state en­ter­pris­es and large cor­po­ra­tions in the Caribbean, meet­ing the bank's clients' com­plex fi­nan­cial needs and pro­vid­ing them with ac­cess to var­i­ous in­no­v­a­tive so­lu­tions.

He has worked on both syn­di­cat­ed loan and cap­i­tal mar­ket trans­ac­tions for large re­gion­al pub­lic and pri­vate cor­po­ra­tions.

Seer­aj first joined the cor­po­rate in­vest­ment bank­ing team in Jan­u­ary 2008 and pri­or to that worked at an­oth­er Trinidad-based bank with re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for state en­ter­pris­es, re­gion­al busi­ness and en­er­gy fi­nanc­ing.

In ad­di­tion, he has worked at two oth­er large com­mer­cial banks where he held sev­er­al pro­gres­sive­ly se­nior posts.

He has been a key con­trib­u­tor to the de­vel­op­ment of the cor­po­rate foot­print and the bank's pro­file in Trinidad, and has brought sev­er­al new key re­la­tion­ships to the busi­ness.

T&T is a key growth mar­ket for CIBC First­Caribbean and Seer­aj said he is "look­ing for­ward to fur­ther build­ing the brand and fran­chise in Trinidad" in his new role as man­ag­ing di­rec­tor.

In an­nounc­ing Seer­aj's ap­point­ment, Irene Markus said: "In his new role, An­tho­ny will con­tin­ue to lever­age his ex­ten­sive knowl­edge of the Trinidad mar­ket­place and his en­er­gy to con­tin­ue to de­vel­op this im­por­tant strate­gic ju­ris­dic­tion for CIBC First­Caribbean.

I look for­ward to con­tin­u­ing to work with him as we move the busi­ness for­ward."
