Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Equity Group Holdings Plc has appointed Samuel Kirubi the new Group Chief Operating Officer (GCOO).<\/p>\n

This points towards the lender\u2019s transformation plan to deliver integrated financial services under the One Equity business model.<\/p>\n

He is expected to oversee the enhancement of the Group\u2019s capacity to deliver on its strategy by aligning people, processes, systems, commercial business and business risk to customers aspirations.<\/p>\n

Kirubi also faces the task of working with all the banking subsidiaries to deliver globally benchmarked services and solutions while leveraging on technology to drive efficiency and seamless customer experience.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the appointment, Equity group managing director James Mwangi said that as the bank rolls out its ambitious Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan which aims at hitting 100 million by 2025, there is need for a transformation strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis calls for the scaling up of our operations, footprint and distribution infrastructure driven by digitisation and virtualisation of the bank,\u201d Mwangi said.<\/p>\n

He said the board has expressed confidence in Kirubi\u2019s capability, experience and knowledge of the transition culture in taking up this responsibility at a critical time of the bank\u2019s growth and expansion.<\/p>\n

Mwangi further noted that the bank has been undergoing internal business transformations and Kirubi\u2019s appointment will boost the initiatives as he joins the base of management executives to drive the execution of the lender\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n

Kirubi moves to the new position as an insider, stepping from his current position of the managing director of Equity Bank Uganda.<\/p>\n
