Botswana-headquartered pan-African financier Letshego has appointed Brighton Banda as interim CEO following the resignation of Aupa Monyatsi. Monyatsi is joining the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) as CEO.
Letshego has also reduced Monyatsi's notice period from three months to one month, and he will now exit on February 14th instead of April 14th, as previously communicated. Banda will commence on February 15th.
Banda joined Letshego as the Chief Products Officer and Regional CEO for East and West Africa in March 2024.
His previous roles include Head of Retail Lending at Absa Africa, Director of Retail and Business Banking at Barclays Botswana (now Absa) and heading various roles at Standard Bank Africa and Standard Chartered.
Before joining Letshego, Brighton was the Managing Director for Airtel Money in Malawi.
"Brighton Banda is a seasoned executive with extensive experience in the financial services sector. He is a dynamic and results driven leader with a proven track record in leading financial services organisations," Letshego told shareholders.
