Meet the New First Man at First Bank

One can never get tired of celebrating greatness and genuine excellence. It is on account of such qualities that average men and women have gone on to be legends. Olukorede Adenowo, a banking professional of international repute, is moving nearer and nearer to this status. With his new position as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of First Bank UK, the certainty of Adenowo becoming a top-tier figure in multinational banking is not up for debate.

First Bank has always been that institution which appears to look down on taking shortcuts to the top and instead prefers traditional step-by-step growth. Their UK branch favours the same philosophy. This is proved by how this branch only hands over power to the most reliable and committed persons, with Adenowo’s name at the top of the list.

Adenowo’s position as the MD/CEO of First Bank UK is unshakeable. Despite only getting to sit on this chair in November, stakeholders are confident that his contributions will be no less than those of legendary figures at the bank. But this is expected, considering Adenowo’s professional profile and the path he walked to this level of corporate prominence.

Before Adenowo started showing his magical hands at First Bank UK, he was a giant at Standard Chartered Bank. Having started with them as far back as 1999, Adenowo held several key positions across West Africa until he arrived at the peak as the bank’s CEO.

Adenowo’s career has been dazzling, built on the accumulations of his education and experience. Recognising his potential to turnaround institutions with decent effort, Adenowo has laboured to develop himself into the pillar of corporate leadership that he is today.

The clock is ticking and the stakeholders have their eyes fixed on him. Should Adenowo manage their expectations and interests correctly, more pies will be delivered to his lap, as is the case with the First Bank UK position.
