Standard Bank, CFC Stanbic’s parent company, has been looking for a new Stanbic Bank Kenya CEO to replace Charles Mudiwa, who will leave the company in December 2022.
“I am indeed humbled to have served at Standard Bank Group over the last 20 years, playing a pivotal role as a change agent. I am confident that the group will continue to scale new heights,” Mudiwa said.
Until his retirement, Mudiwa served in various capacities within Stanbic Bank Group, Africa’s largest bank by assets.
