KUALA LUMPUR: Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has appointed Nor Shahrizan Sulaiman as officer-in-charge of Maybank Islamic Bhd (MIB) following the resignation of Datuk Muzaffar Hisham, who stepped down to pursue other professional interests.

In a statement, Maybank said the search for a new group CEO of Islamic Banking would begin immediately, with an announcement to be made in due course.

Nor Shahrizan will take on the day-to-day management of MIB in addition to his current duties until a new group CEO is appointed.
