Stanbic Bank Uganda has announced Samuel Mwogeza as the lender’s interim chief executive, following the departure of Anne Juuko.
Mr Mwogeza is currently the executive head of personal and private banking, a position he has held since March 2023. Prior to this, he spent six months as global chief financial officer of Vision Fund International. Prior to that, he was the head of consumer and high net worth banking at Stanbic Bank, but resigned unexpectedly in September 2022.
He joined Stanbic Bank in May 2010 as finance manager for corporate and investment banking and was later appointed financial controller and chief financial officer. Prior to joining Stanbic Bank, he worked at Barclays Bank Uganda and Citibank Uganda Limited, where he joined in June 2003.
Mr Mwogeza was one of the leading candidates to succeed Patrick Mweheire as chief executive in 2020, but was ultimately passed over in favour of Anne Juuko. Ms Juuko was recently promoted to the regional division, where she will serve as head of global markets.
In addition, Barbara Dokoria has been appointed as interim executive director, replacing Emma Mugisha, who resigned. Ms Dokoria is currently the executive head of compliance.
Both appointments take effect on 1 April.
