Lahner heads strategy and business development at Nedbank

In the dynamic world of banking and finance, Shaun Lahner, recently appointed as Nedbank Namibia’s Head of Strategy, Business Development and Research, embodies innovation and strategic acumen. He brings over a decade of comprehensive experience in the financial services industry to the forefront. His journey, marked by significant roles both locally and internationally, is poised to navigate an era of potential growth and innovation at Nedbank Namibia 

Lahner’s professional trajectory has been, in his own words, “an exciting journey, albeit not for the faint of heart.” His background in finance – spanning over a decade – sets him up for a career in the financial services industry. Most recently, he has intentionally moved into sell-side research at a local stockbroker to obtain a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the trade. 

Lahner has forged a distinctive path that aligns well with Nedbank’s ethos. His portfolio at Nedbank transcends traditional confines, encompassing a broad spectrum of responsibilities, including idea generation, strategic planning and driving business development initiatives. 

At the core of Lahner’s vision for Nedbank is a commitment to understanding the business in depth and harnessing strategic thought for sustainable growth. He emphasises the importance of not only collaborating with talented individuals and developing strategies that align with the company’s values, but also contributing significantly to the betterment of stakeholders and Namibia as a whole. 

His approach to strategy is multifaceted; it includes focusing on diversification, digital transformation, and client-centricity, which resonates well with Nedbank’s vision to be a revered financial services provider in Africa. 

Lahner’s insights into the banking sector extend beyond corporate strategies. He is a fervent advocate for financial literacy and inclusion, which aligns with the Bank of Namibia’s drive to promote inclusivity. His leadership style further reflects a deep understanding of the industry’s dynamics, prioritising client experience, duty to maintain ethical practices and continuous learning. 

Balancing his high-powered role with his personal life, Lahner finds solace in spending time with loved ones, exercising, travelling and indulging in intellectual pursuits. He draws inspiration from various sources, including his formal studies, documentaries, and books like ‘The End of Money’ and ‘The Age of Menace’, both by David Buckham, Robyn Wilkinson and Christiaan Straeuli.
