- Senior appointment expands client coverage across Middle East and Africa
20th October 2026
Janus Henderson Investors is today announcing the appointment of Charles Ejiogu as Executive Director, Client Group MEA. Charles, who joined the firm on 5th October, will be based in Dubai and report to Meshal AlFaras, Managing Director, Head of Middle East, Africa & Central Asia Client Group.
In his new role, Charles will work closely with the firm’s partners across Africa and support the continued development of Janus Henderson’s relationships throughout the region. His appointment further strengthens the regional team and reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to expanding its local capabilities and serving clients and partners across the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.
Charles brings almost a decade of experience in client relationship management across the Middle East and Africa. He began his career at Goldman Sachs Asset Management in London in 2017, working closely throughout his tenure with central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds across the region.
Janus Henderson began operations in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia region in 2012. Since then, the firm has built long-standing relationships with a broad range of clients and partners, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, banks, wealth management firms and family offices.
Charles’ appointment builds on the firm’s continued investment in the region and its growing on-the-ground team. Earlier this year, Janus Henderson announced the appointments of Sabrina Denis as Investment Specialist, based in Dubai, and Naveen Kumar M as Senior Associate Director, following the appointment of Baraa Amir as Executive Director and the opening of a new office in Abu Dhabi in 2025.
Commenting on the appointment, Meshal AlFaras, Head of Middle East, Africa & Central Asia, said: “We are delighted to welcome Charles to Janus Henderson. His experience across the Middle East and Africa and his strong understanding of the region make him an excellent addition to our growing team. Charles will work closely with our partners across the Middle East and Africa and support our broader regional efforts as we continue to strengthen our capabilities and deepen relationships across the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.”
