Standard Chartered Corporate & Investment Banking’s Post

Meet Ada, a branch manager at a prominent bank in Lagos. For years, she was known as a dedicated leader—always putting her team first, always ensuring clients were satisfied. But recently, she felt a shift. “Banking used to feel so straightforward,” she thought. “Now, everything’s about tech, data, and adapting faster than ever before.” Ada knew she needed more than just experience to keep leading effectively. “My team is looking to me to guide them through this new digital world, but I need to grow with them too,” she admitted. So, she signed up for ICLED Business School Executive Education’s ‘Leadership in the Digital Age’ seminar. It was three days that transformed her approach. At ICLED Business School, she did not just learn about digital tools and trends—she learned how to connect with her team in a way that drives innovation and resilience. “It was not just about new skills; it was about becoming the kind of leader my team deserves,” Ada shared. “ICLED Business School helped me see that leadership is about navigating change with heart and vision.” Now, Ada feels empowered, ready to lead her team confidently through the challenges of digital transformation. If you are feeling the same need to adapt, join us from January 15-17, 2025 in-person in Lagos or virtually and gain the insights, strategies, and renewed sense of purpose you need to lead effectively in today’s fast-paced world. Secure your spot and prepare to lead with heart, vision, and resilience. https://lnkd.in/dD2nPRcx #LeadWithHeart #LeadershipInTheDigitalAge #ICLEDBusinessSchool #ExecutiveEducation #TransformationLeadership #LeadershipJourney

I am back again this year to speak at the World Finance Forum in Dubai. The focus of my Key Note is Finance Leadership in Times of Crisis. Given we are operating in an environment of elevated uncertainty, with continued high inflation, high interest rates, supply chain disruptions, global unrest and multiple conflict zones, our next crisis may be just around the corner. Financial Crisis over the last 25 years have ushered Finance leaders to the helm. Whether it was the Dotcom crisis, the Global Financial Crisis or most recently Covid 19, Finance Leaders have been tasked to help lead and maneuvere organizations through to better times and beyond. Confrontation with an enemy of this kind calls for a Crisis Management approach to Financial Leadership to be activated. I will share personal approach and experience with that. The ultimate question to truly ask is "Are you ready ?" Access the link below to see the full agenda. See you at the Forum. https://lnkd.in/dWwdUXSy #worldfinanceforum #cpaaustralia #cfo #financeleader #leadership #crisis #financialcrisis #crisismanagement #crisisfinanceofficer

Frank Mwiti, an esteemed business leader with over two decades of diverse international experience, is set to succeed Geoffrey Odundo as the CEO of the Nairobi Securities Exchange. With a background in strategy, governance, risk management, and corporate finance, Mwiti's appointment brings a wealth of expertise to the role, signaling a new era of growth and innovation for the exchange. His strategic capabilities and exceptional track record in financial markets, both emerging and developed, position him as the ideal leader to navigate the NSE through its next phase of evolution. As Mwiti prepares to assume his role on May 2nd, the NSE will see a seamless transition under the interim leadership of David Wainaina, the current COO. Odundo's nine-year tenure has seen both challenges and successes, with efforts to attract fresh listings and enhance market liquidity. Now, with Mwiti at the helm, the NSE is poised to address these challenges head-on and drive forward its growth agenda, including overseeing the public listing phase of the government's privatization plans. #NairobiSecuritiesExchange #LeadershipTransition #FinancialMarkets #hakunamatatamedia

I recently had the privilege of attending the 2nd National Corporate Governance Summit 2024, organized by the Institute of Directors Centre for Corporate Governance (IoDCCG), along with several esteemed bodies, including the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) and the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSAN). The summit provided an invaluable platform for industry leaders, experts, and professionals to explore strategies that can effectively drive national economic transformation. The discussions illuminated a roadmap for achieving impactful governance, stressing the importance of partnerships across key sectors (public and private). The summit emphasized that strong governance practices are essential to Nigeria's national transformation, fostering trust, transparency, and accountability. As we continue to strive for a better future, it is imperative that we all recognize the critical role of governance in driving national transformation. I am grateful for the insights shared at this summit and eager to see how these discussions translate into actionable policies that will shape a brighter future for Nigeria. Together, let us champion good governance as a cornerstone for national success. #CorporateGovernance #NationalTransformation #GovernanceSummit #Leadership #folusokolawole
