Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), the parent company of the Ecobank Group, has appointed Jeremy Awori as its new chief executive officer.

This follows the retirement of the current Group Chief Executive Officer, Ade Ayeyemi, who will retire after he attains the age of 60, in accordance with ETI policy.

Alain Nkontchou, Ecobank Group Chairman, thanked Ade for his immense contribution during his seven years at the helm of the Ecobank Group as Group CEO.

“Ade can be rightly proud of his success in leading the implementation of the Roadmap to Leadership strategy, navigating Ecobank through challenges, seizing opportunities, and positioning Ecobank for sustainable long-term growth. Ade’s deep knowledge, unrivaled vision, commitment and infinite passion made all the difference. It has been a real pleasure working with him. I count on his continuous support to ensure a smooth transition as we onboard Jeremy Awori as the new Group CEO,” Nkontchou said.
