Polaris Bank is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members of its executive leadership team.
These appointments are an important landmark in the delivery of Polaris Bank’s refreshed strategy, which is focused on technology and service as critical pillars for growth and is already delivering results, with deposit growth, an expanded product suite and service efficiencies all contributing to improved performance.
Chinwe Iloghalu joins the Bank as Executive Director, Lagos and Corporate Banking and Martins Izuogbe joins the Bank as Executive Director, Service and Technology.
The new management team is focused on positioning the Bank to compete strongly in Nigeria’s dynamic financial services ecosystem and further appointments will be made into an expanded leadership team over time.
Chinwe is a seasoned banker with more than 25 years’ experience in financial services. Prior to her appointment she was the General Manager/Regional Head at Fidelity Bank covering the Lagos operations with extensive experience across the digital and electronic banking ecosystem.
Martins has 25 years’ experience in the banking sector, all with Fidelity Bank where he served as the Regional Bank Head for Apapa prior to his appointment. He has spent a significant part of his career in operations and IT leadership roles, and brings that knowledge to his role leading our service and technology function.
Following the appointments, Segun Opeke (ED Lagos and Corporate Banking) and Abdullahi Mohammed (ED North) will complete their tenures on the management team.
Both executives played vital roles during the stabilisation of Polaris Bank following the transition from Skye Bank, helping to return the Bank to profitability.
