Bhavish Naeck

Bhavish Naeck is Group Head of Finance at MCB, also listed by MCB as Head - Finance in its leadership team. Public sources do not verify the stub claim that he is an angel investor; the available primary-source record positions him as a senior finance executive at a commercial bank and financial services group.

Naeck was the first recipient of the MCB Foundation Scholarship, which enabled him to study at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His LinkedIn profile lists LSE attendance from 1989 to 1992, and MCB’s annual-report biography describes his qualification as a BSc Honours in Economics with specialisation in Accounting and Finance, plus Fellow Chartered Accountant status in the UK.

Before joining MCB, Naeck worked for more than four years in London at Wilkins Kennedy Chartered Accountants, then in Singapore with Deloitte & Touche and JDA Asia, a NASDAQ-listed company subsidiary where he served as Financial Controller. After returning to Mauritius, he worked as Financial Controller at Sun Resorts.

He joined MCB in May 2000 as Manager - Investment Administration at MCB Registry & Securities. He later served as Project Leader on a Business Process Re-engineering project and became Head of Financial Management / Finance SBU; MCB’s 2022 annual-report biography says he had headed the Finance SBU since January 2014.
