"I want to recognise the bank’s incredible clients, stakeholders and colleagues for their unwavering support throughout the years. This award is for them. As a bank, our strategy remains unchanged – we will continue to find new and innovative ways of creating value for our customers as they navigate challenges of the external environment. Our role is to empower them and their businesses while deploying cutting-edge digital technology to create convenience."

"I don’t have all the answers. But having led the successful and arguably the biggest transformation of a brand and business ownership in the country, followed by running a business through the pandemic—and having seen so many of my customers do the same—I do have some insights into what we can do to weather this storm."

"Corporate governance is both the sword and the shield. The sword by which we lead the charge, inspire others and attack weak structures and the shield that protects us from uncertainty, ill-conceived short-term thinking and narrowly focused outcomes. Both are necessary as we forge forward and I encourage you all to embrace and shape the future of good Corporate Governance in Ghana and the world."
