Stepping into Chapman’s large shoes, is Zenaune Kamberipa, a chartered accountant by profession and former Group Financial Manager for FirstRand Group. He is tasked to continue driving the bank’s expansive financial strategy, in the process working with all business units within the group to achieve the bank’s strategic goals.

Moving from Capricorn Private Wealth, Leon Koch is now the head of the Business Banking division where, amongst others, he is responsible for commercial clients and for growing the bank’s well-established SME customer segment.
