The Antigua Commercial Bank today announced Joanna Charles as its new General Manager, effective October 1, 2018.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The bank says Charles is an accomplished career banker, who brings over 28 years<\/strong> of extensive regional banking industry experience to Antigua Commercial Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her most recent role, she held the position of Deputy\nManaging Director of Bank of Saint Lucia Ltd., and previously served as the\nGeneral Manager of Bank of Antigua, during a critical period, in which that\ninstitution successfully transitioned, to the Eastern Caribbean Amalgamated\nBank.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Charles is an Associate of the Chartered Institute of\nBankers (ACIB) UK, who also holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Banking & Financial\nServices from the University of Manchester and an MBA (Finance) from the\nManchester Business School.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“She brings considerable experience in finding solutions that strengthen Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) and embraces a culture of Customer Service Excellence,” ACB said in a statement<\/g>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of her appointment to the position of General\nManager of the Antigua Commercial Bank Group, she notes, \u201cthat banking is a lot\nmore challenging in this ever evolving industry and it is critical for Banks to be\ncognizant of this reality and develop strategies to manage those changes and\nremain sustainable at the same time\u201d. She however welcomes the opportunity to\nserve the customers and staff of ACB and embraces the new challenge with\noptimism. <\/p>
