The Board of the bank in statement yesterday named the immediate finance Director at GCB, John Awuah as the new MD and Chief Executive of UMB.
According to the board, he is expected to drive the new strategy of the bank.
Another statement issued by the bank says the entire staff of the bank are happy to welcome Mr. Awuah on board.
