The arrival of Willy K. Mulamba as the new Managing Director of EquityBCDC is a major turning point for the financial institution. With over 20 years of experience in the banking sector, Mulamba brings with him a solid background in executive management, corporate governance and transaction negotiation. His impressive academic background, with degrees from prestigious international universities, further strengthens his credibility and ability to successfully lead EquityBCDC to new heights.
Mulamba’s appointment comes after the departure of Célestin Mukeba, who has served as Managing Director since 2020. Under Mukeba’s leadership, EquityBCDC has grown significantly, from a client base of 133,435 to 1,868,358, with a balance sheet increasing from USD 1.5 million to USD 4.4 billion. His successor will therefore have the heavy responsibility of maintaining this growth dynamic and consolidating the institution’s position on the Congolese financial market.
One of the interesting aspects of this transition is the creation of regional Deputy General Manager positions, aimed at bringing EquityBCDC’s services closer to its customers and strengthening the human resources, finance and internal control functions. This decentralized approach to decision-making will allow the institution to better serve its customers and better understand the specific needs of each region where it operates.
In addition, the departure of Auguste Kanku, former Deputy General Manager and Secretary General, opens the way to new opportunities for EquityBCDC. The Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Wolfgang Bertelsmeier, expressed its gratitude to Mukeba and Kanku for their remarkable contribution to the growth and development of the institution over the past nine years.
In conclusion, the future of EquityBCDC looks promising with the arrival of Willy K. Mulamba at its helm. His visionary leadership, combined with the expertise and experience of his team, opens new perspectives for the institution and strengthens its position as a major player in the financial sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
