\u201cWe are thrilled to have Cla\u0301udia join IFC\u2019s Africa leadership team,\u201d said Se\u0301rgio Pimenta, IFC Vice President for Africa. \u201cWith her extensive private sector background and strong technical and leadership skills, I look forward to her contributing to IFC\u2019s impact in the Southern Africa region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to join IFC to support sustainable development and inclusive growth that makes a positive impact in Africa, and more specifically in Southern Africa,\u201d said Conceic\u0327a\u0303o. \u201cI am eager to meet with partners and help countries in the region achieve their development goals with the support of private sector-led solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before joining Standard Chartered Bank, Conceic\u0327a\u0303o was the director for Corporate & Investment Banking at Barclays Bank in Mozambique, where she managed a country-wide team responsible for coverage, debt, structured finance, cash, and trade finance products.<\/p>\n
