Deyaar Development yesterday named S Krishnamurthy as the company's group chief financial officer.

Krishnamurthy, who previously served at Dubai Investment Group as senior vice-president responsible for executing multiple investment opportunities, including mergers and acquisitions, brings 18 years of extensive professional experience to this key role at Deyaar.
