KAMPALA - Effective April 1, 2024, Samuel F Mwogeza will assume the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer, while Barbara Dokoria will take on the position of Interim Executive Director until substantive appointments are made for the positions, according to a statement released by the bank.

The appointment of Mwogeza, currently serving as the executive head of Personal and Private Banking, comes following the conclusion of Juuko’s executive tenure at the end of March. Juuko will transition to a new leadership role as the Global Markets Regional Head for East Africa starting April, overseeing seven East African markets at Standard Bank Group.

Meanwhile, Barbara Dokoria, presently serving as the Executive Head of Compliance, will step into the interim role of executive director following the resignation of Emma Mugisha, who served as the executive director and Head of Business and Commercial Banking. Mugisha has decided to explore opportunities outside of the Standard Bank Group.

In response to these developments, Damoni Kitabire, the Stanbic Bank Chairman of the Board of Directors, extended congratulations to the incoming leaders and expressed gratitude to Juuko and Mugisha for their notable contributions to the organisation’s sustained success over the years.

“On behalf of the Board, I thank Anne, and Emma for their leadership over the years and contribution to the sustained growth of Stanbic Bank Uganda; we wish them success in their next respective assignments,” Kitabire said.

Stanbic Bank Uganda, a subsidiary of Stanbic Uganda Holdings Limited and part of the Standard Bank Group, has solidified its position as a leading financial institution in the country.

The bank serves as the anchor subsidiary of Stanbic Uganda Holdings Limited, which is a franchise of the Standard Bank Group, Africa's largest lender by assets.
