Linda Naa Dzama Quaynor has been appointed as the first female board chair of United Bank for Africa Ghana, according to a report published by BusinessDay Nigeria. Her appointment places a woman at the head of the bank’s Ghana board for the first time.
The milestone relates specifically to the board chair position at UBA Ghana. The supplied report identifies Quaynor by her full name but does not include further information about the appointment process, the length of her term or the date on which she will formally assume the role.
No details were provided about Quaynor’s professional background, previous board responsibilities or priorities for UBA Ghana. The evidence also does not identify her predecessor or indicate whether other changes have been made to the bank’s board.
The appointment nevertheless establishes a new first in UBA Ghana’s leadership record. Further information from the bank would be needed to clarify Quaynor’s mandate, the composition of the board under her leadership and any strategic objectives attached to the appointment.
