Mohamed Naguib Ibrahim appointed GB Auto chairman following Raouf Ghabbour’s passing

Mohamed Naguib (LinkedIn) succeeds the late Raouf Ghabbour as the non-executive chairman of GB Auto, the company said in an EGX disclosure (pdf) yesterday. Ghabbour, a leading figure in the business community, passed away last week aged 69 after a long battle with cancer. Naguib has served on the boards of a number of banks and corporations — including Incolease, GB Auto and Banque Misr — in Egypt throughout his nearly 40 years of experience in banking, leasing and credit. He was recently appointed to advise new central bank governor Hassan Abdalla.
