Al Karim Somji’s departure from the CEO role marks the end of an era of more than two decades of leadership that saw Zafin grow into a leader in global banking technology. “It has been a remarkable journey and an absolute privilege to lead Zafin through its many milestones and successes. I am extremely proud of our accomplishments over the last two decades—from our original vision to revolutionize the financial services industry to elevating Zafin to a category of its own in core modernization and transformation solutions. Today, Zafin is uniquely positioned as a leader in the global banking technology landscape. I want to extend my deepest appreciation to my co-founders, Anugopal Venugopalan and Dinesh Krishnan, whose ongoing leadership continues to drive our vision forward. Together with the unwavering dedication of our entire team and the trust of our valued customers, we have set a solid foundation for sustained innovation and growth. I am confident and fully trust in Charbel’s vision and capabilities to continue steering Zafin toward groundbreaking solutions that enable banks to stay ahead of the curve, achieving sustainable growth and continued excellence in an ever-evolving banking landscape,” said Al Karim.

Charbel Safadi, previously Group President, will take over as CEO effective immediately. Safadi brings a passion for innovation and a deep understanding of Zafin’s culture and operations, making him an ideal successor to drive the company forward.
