ABOUT FUNKE FEYISITAN LADIMEJI
I am a dynamic and influential business leader with a history of steering organisations - aligning and positioning people, businesses, operations for current performance, and for future trends and relevance. An Executive Director and COO with nearly 30 years’ international experience shaping strategy and driving excellence and performance in banking and financial services, including 14 years at JPMorgan Chase and 12 years in Africa Emerging Markets. I have a detailed understanding of the full range of financial products and services across retail, corporate and investment banking, global markets, asset management and private equity, with proven expertise in transforming operations, people and culture to address global, regional and local influences, exceeding targets and expanding client base. In my current role as Executive Director, COO and Executive Compliance Officer for Coronation Merchant Bank here in Lagos, I have played a central role in helping the organisation navigate a particularly challenging period marked by enormous volatility and uncertainty in foreign exchange markets, the imposition of CRR regulation and the economic strains of COVID-19 on the Nigerian and global economy. I have conceived and implemented a new business model, partnered with government and other entities to drive engagement with new clients both here and overseas, driving a wider transformation programme, including digital, boosting performance and reducing costs. Well connected to peers, captains of industry and government representatives, I build partnerships and forge a collaborative approach to major challenges. As a thought leader, I proactively develop sustainable solutions to evolving risks and opportunities, gaining buy-in from board and C-suite leaders internally and engaging employees at all levels, empowering them to succeed by offering appropriate training and setting clear targets and responsibilities. A qualified accountant, I honed my deep technical skills during my early career working in product control and business management for top-tier international investment banks and leaders in global markets.
