“I’m not sure how that rumour started, but it wasn’t the case. I am totally committed to delivering Forward23+. I’ve got to deliver. That was my promise to shareholders when I came in,” he tells The Edge in an in terview at the group’s Menara CIMB head office in KL Sentral.
CIMB Group Holdings group CEO Abdul Rahman Ahmad’s three-year contract, which was to have expired in June, was extended for two years, enabling the 54-year-old to see through his Forward23+ strategic plan that runs until end-2024.
News of the extension, which The Edge reported in early July, came as a surprise to some in the industry as there were strong rumours that Abdul Rahman had intended to leave the bank.
