Equity Bank Kenya has appointed Moses Okoth Nyabanda Acting Managing Director, subject to approval from the Central Bank of Kenya.

Before his appointment, Nyabanda was the Equity Group Chief Finance & Strategy Execution Officer.

This follows the acceptance of Gerald Warui's request for early retirement after a distinguished career with the Group.

Nyabanda brings robust financial acumen and strategic leadership to his new role, having previously served as Managing Director and Country Senior Partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in Rwanda.

His proven track record in strategic planning, business growth, and financial management, coupled with his deep understanding of the financial services industry, make him a suitable candidate to steer Equity Bank Kenya forward.
