Welcoming her on board, Mungunda said: “We are most pleased that we will benefit from her vast experience and her strong business acumen, strategic mind-set and strong client orientation.” The other executive team member, Ndove, joined the bank on January 1. Ndove was until recently the deputy permanent secretary, treasury and accountant general at the Ministry of Finance.
