Equity Bank Uganda has appointed Mr. Gift Shoko as the new Managing Director, subject to regulatory approval.

Prior to his appointment as MD, Mr. Shoko served as the Executive Director of Equity Bank Uganda.

With over 26 years of experience in the banking industry, Mr. Shoko is a seasoned professional with a rich background in commercial multi-regional banking and leadership across Southern and Eastern Africa. He holds a Bachelor of Business Studies and Computer Science degree from the University of Zimbabwe, a Masters in Business Administration (Banking and Finance) from CIMA in Nicosia, Cyprus, and several certifications in banking, finance, and leadership.

His career in banking began at Nedbank Zimbabwe, where he participated in the Graduate Management Training program before advancing through various senior management roles. He also served as the Group Chief Operating Officer and Group Chief Executive Officer at Trust Holdings Limited (THL), a Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed diversified financial services group, where he successfully reorganized the company and led its re-listing on the stock exchange. He has a wealth of experience in corporate governance, having served on various boards across Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi.

The announcement, which was made by the Board of Directors, follows the resignation of Mr. Anthony Kituuka as the Managing Director of Equity Bank Uganda.
