In a statement issued this afternoon, the board of directors said both Mr Mweheire and Ms Juuko will be assuming their new roles on March 1st 2020.
“Mr Patrick’s exemplary leadership has steered the growth and success of Stanbic Bank as the largest commercial bank in Uganda and sustained the bank’s leadership position in the market. Patrick has been instrumental in the transformation of the organisation and remains influential in contributing to the growth of the financial sector in Uganda and across the East African Region,” the board of directors said.

With the said change, the board of directors said Ms Juuko brings on board a wealth of experience in the financial industry with regionally and global expertise in banking for 20 years.
She has been a part of the Standard Bank Group for over eight years having joined as head of Global Markets for Stanbic Bank Uganda and was later appointed head of Corporate and Investment Banking at Standard Bank, Namibia.

Ms Juuko started her banking career in 2001, and worked in various roles before being appointed as Vice President, Head Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities at Citibank Uganda Limited and was later seconded to Citibank Kenya as Vice President, Customer Sales and Derivatives Marketing. She later joined Stanbic Bank in 2012.

In his new regional position, Mr Mweheire will be responsible for Standard Bank Group’s growth strategy in East Africa which comprises Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
During his six years as CEO of Stanbic Bank Uganda, Mweheire’s leadership saw the bank’s profit rise to Shs135 billion in 2014 up from Shs101 billion in 2013.
