The President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) has announced the following appointment
Cecilia Akintomide is confirmed as Secretary General
Hela Cheikhrouhou as Director of the new Energy, Environment and Climate Change Department
Gemina Archer-Davies as Director of Corporate Human Resources Management.
President Kaberuka said: "I am delighted to make these appointments to key senior positions and to increase the number of women at senior levels, including the appointment of the first female Secretary General. I am particularly pleased that both Cecilia and Hela are internal promotions, demonstrating the development of talent within the Bank. I very much hope that they will be role models for the many younger staff who I know have great potential.
All three appointments are well merited: with her extensive experience and diplomatic skills, Cecilia has already established herself as a trusted interlocutor with the Board and Governors; Hela has demonstrated exceptional capacity to deliver in the AfDB private sector department and will provide drive and leadership for the new Department; Gemina brings a wealth of HR experience in international organizations, of best practice, and will ensure we maintain the same standards. I look forward to working closely with all of them."
