About Christopher Taylor (II)

As the Chief Executive Officer of Deem Finance, I lead the strategic transformation of one of the UAE’s most innovative financial institutions. My mandate is clear: to build a responsible, digital-first platform that expands access to fair financial services for underserved consumers and SMEs across the GCC. Recently, I spearheaded a $400M funding round led by JP Morgan, reinforcing Deem’s position as a powerhouse in the regional fintech landscape. With over 25 years of senior leadership across the Middle East and Europe, I specialize in navigating complex regulatory environments and leading institutions through major economic cycles. My approach balances disciplined risk management with cutting-edge digital innovation in customer acquisition and product design.
