Baronice Hans takes helm at BAN
STAFF REPORTER
The Bankers Association of Namibia (BAN) has announced the appointment of Bank Windhoek managing director Baronice Hans as its chairperson. Hans was elected to serve a one-year term commencing 1 April 2017.
Hans will be taking over from Tawanda Mumvuma, chief executive officer of SME Bank, and is the first woman to be appointed as the chairperson of the Bankers Association of Namibia.
“We are very pleased to receive this prestigious honour to chair the BAN, and to drive the mandate of BAN for the next year. I look forward to leading the BAN Council as chairperson and to work more closely with the CEOs of the banks to address non-competitive issues of common interest. The collective background and experience of the BAN Council members is invaluable and represents the interests of Namibia’s banking sector,” Hans said.
Hans has been an active member of the BAN since last year when she was appointed as MD of Bank Windhoek and has a career in banking that spans more than eight years.
“I would like to thank SME Bank for their efforts over the past year. The foundation laid so far will ensure that we keep building the sector together.
“The banking industry is faced with a myriad of challenges, however, collectively working towards a common goal will ensure that together with our key stakeholders, such as the Bank of Namibia and the government, we build a sound banking industry which is the backbone of our economy,” Hans said.
Bank Windhoek will chair the subcommittees forming part of the BAN structure, which include credit, treasury, human resources, accounting and tax, compliance, legal, IT, operational and public relations.
