May 9, 2024 Oak Group strengthens leadership team in Mauritius

In his new role, Zoubeir will lead Oak's operations in Mauritius, further strengthening the leadership team across the group. He has nearly two decades of experience in the financial services industry, focusing on fund administration, business development and client relationship management. Zoubeir will be responsible for driving the growth strategy and enhancing the service delivery to Oak's existing and prospective clients in Mauritius and Africa.

Prior to joining Oak, Zoubeir led the Business Development unit for Apex in Mauritius and Africa, where he was trusted to spearhead the sales strategy. Before this, he was the Director of Apex's Centre of Excellence where he oversaw the execution of an operating model that would guarantee delivery according to clients' SLAs. In addition, he has worked with leading global service providers and multinational clients across various jurisdictions and asset classes.

As Zoubeir joins, Oak will be bidding farewell to Paul Schreibke as he approaches retirement. Paul joined Oak’s Guernsey office as Managing Director in September 2019, and later moved to manage Oak’s Mauritius office three years later. Paul has been instrumental in establishing and expanding our Oak footprint.

Zoubeir, Managing Director of Oak Mauritius said:

"I am delighted to join Oak at this exciting time of expansion and innovation. Oak has a strong reputation in the market for its expertise, professionalism and client-centric approach. I look forward to working with the talented team in Mauritius and across the group to deliver high-quality solutions and create value for our clients."

Kim Sgarlata, Group CEO of Oak said: 

“We are very pleased to welcome Zoubeir to Oak. His extensive experience will play a key role in strengthening our presence and capabilities in this important jurisdiction. Zoubeir's appointment demonstrates our commitment to investing in our people and providing the best service to our clients. I also want to express my appreciation to Paul. He is a great colleague and has been a great asset to Oak since he came in 2019. It was a pleasure to work with Paul to find his successor, as he showed how much he cares about Oak's progress."
