Rothschild appoints Mideast advisors

Rothschild, a corporate finance advisory firm, said Monday it has appointed Ibrahim Belselah and Patrick Choffel as senior advisers for its Middle East operations.

Belselah, a UAE national based in Dubai, has spent over 18 years working for the government of Dubai as director of finance for the Dubai Municipality.

Choffel joins Rothschild Middle East following 40 years with American International Group Inc (AIG).

Rothschild was appointed in April by the Dubai government as an advisor on the creation of a financial support fund for state-linked entities worth at least $10 billion.END
