Mr. Tariq-Khan said: "I'm excited to join Fasanara and work with Francesco and the leadership team to bring the firm's unique capabilities in private lending to businesses in the Middle East. The scale of Fasanara's quantitative resources and technology platform are central to driving our success across the region."

Mr. Tariq-Khan started his career in London with Deloitte in its advisory business before relocating to Dubai where he helped establish its Middle East debt advisory practice.
