Until their appointments, Edward Opare-Donkor was the Bank's Chief Operating Officer while Samuel Aidoo was the Group Head of Wholesale Banking of Fidelity Bank.

Mr Edward Opare-Donkor, with a background and solid professional experience of over 15 years in Banking, Finance and Operations, started his career from the Fidelity Discount House where he joined as a Finance Officer in 2002 from CDH Insurance.

He has since held various roles successfully in the Finance section, which includes the Financial Controller and Director of Finance roles.

Mr Samuel Aidoo on the other hand brings to this new role over 15 years' experience in Treasury & Investment Banking, and a very strong knowledge of Sub-Saharan African markets; he joined the Bank in 2016 as Treasurer, after leading Barclays Africa's Capital Markets business in Nigeria.

He has been instrumental in elevating the Bank's position in the financial and capital market business landscape in the country.

Julian Opuni, Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, said: "Individually, Edward and Samuel have demonstrated unique professionalism in managing their respective portfolios.

"The appointments were made to reinforce our relatively new but formidable executive team to collectively drive Fidelity Bank's strategic growth agenda and I am very excited and congratulate them on their appointments".
