There are few bigger growth stories than Qatar, which means there are few bigger jobs than this. Last summer, Shashank Srivastava officially took on the top position at Qatar’s financial authority after a period of time as acting CEO. He is now overseeing the development of Doha as a financial hub to match those elsewhere in the Gulf. Srivastava joined the QFC Authority in April 2006 and has been instrumental in developing its three-hub strategy, focusing on asset management, reinsurance and captive insurance. Srivastava has 16 years of global experience in the strategy consulting and investment industries. He previously held key positions with Dresdner RCM Global Investors and Andersen Consulting. Prior to joining the QFC Authority, Srivastava worked at the Dubai International Financial Centre and was assistant vice president at Abraaj Capital.
