Ghida Barbari, CFA
Senior Equity Analyst  

Ghida leads Introspect Capital’s financials’ sector coverage. Ghida joined the Introspect team in 2020, and her responsibilities include generating investment ideas and performing in-depth company due diligence.

Ghida completed her bachelor’s in Economics in 2006 and her master’s in Political Economics in 2008, at Saint Joseph University in Lebanon. Ghida is also a CFA® charterholder and member of the CFA institute.

Ghida began her career in 2008, as a relationship manager at Lebanon’s largest bank, Bank Audi. In 2011, Ghida transitioned to Audi Capital, the bank’s Saudi investment arm, where she spent over three years as an equity analyst while also lecturing part-time, teaching candidates the Economics module of the CFA program.

In 2016, Ghida relocated to the UAE to join Al Dhabi Investment as a Senior Investment Analyst. During her time in Abu Dhabi, Ghida led group’s fundamental investment research and implemented a structured approach to capital allocation.

Ghida’s prudent approach to money management is limited to the time she spends on the Introspect portfolios. In her personal life, she displays less restraint, particularly when investing in kitchenware and appliances which support her ever-growing baking obsession. In another life, Ghida would be a natural food chef, however, her passion for nutrition is causing trust issues with her family members as she increasingly finds new ways to undetectably sneak vegetables into a variety of baked goods.
