His academic and professional background in banking will be crucial as he steps into this new role.
Ngono's previous experience at CCEI Bank has equipped him with valuable insights into the banking sector, which he will leverage to enhance CCA Bank's competitive edge. His leadership is anticipated to focus on innovation and strategic growth, particularly in expanding the bank's footprint across the African continent.
