The board of the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has hired Paul Koster as its next CEO. Koster succeeds David Knott, who retires from full time employment in December this year, after nearly four years with the DFSA. Knott is widely credited as having established the DFSA as a highly regarded regulator operating to world-class standards.
Koster was previously commissioner and member of the executive board, Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM), the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets.
