Polaris Bank is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members of its executive leadership team. Chinwe Iloghalu joins the Bank as Executive Director, Lagos and Corporate Banking and Martins Izuogbe joins the Bank as Executive Director, Service and Technology.

These appointments are an important landmark in the delivery of Polaris Bank’s refreshed strategy, which is focused on technology and service as critical pillars for growth and is already delivering results, with deposit growth, an expanded product suite and service efficiencies all contributing to improved performance. The new management team is focused on positioning the Bank to compete strongly in Nigeria’s dynamic financial services ecosystem and further appointments will be made into an expanded leadership team over time.

Commenting on the appointments, the MD/CEO of Polaris Bank Adekunle Sonola said: “I am very pleased to welcome Chinwe and Martins to the executive leadership team at an exciting time for Polaris Bank. Both have extensive experience in the Nigerian banking sector, and strong track records in corporate banking, innovation and technology, which are integral to our strategy. We have set out some ambitious targets for growth over the coming years, and I am confident we have brought together the right management team to deliver those targets. I look forward to working with Chinwe and Martins over the coming months and years.”

Chinwe Iloghalu, ED, Lagos and Corporate Banking:
Chinwe is a seasoned banker with more than 25 years’ experience in financial services. Prior to her appointment she was the General Manager/Regional Head at Fidelity Bank covering the Lagos operations with extensive experience across the digital and electronic banking ecosystem.

Martins Izuogbe, ED Service and Technology
Martins has 25 years’ experience in the banking sector, all with Fidelity Bank where he served as the Regional Bank Head for Apapa prior to his appointment.
