Outgoing uab bank Chairman, ဦးနေအောင် whilst congratulating U Nay Aye said, “It has been a privilege for me to have served as uab bank’s Chair for the past 12 years. Following the success of reforms in the business model and management made in 2017, I had expressed my intention at the end of 2020 to allow for better independent corporate governance of the Bank with the appointment of an independent non-executive chair. I am delighted on how the Bank has progressed over the years with its innovativeness and have greatly enjoyed my time working with the professionalism displayed by both Board and Senior Management members. It is at this stage when the Bank is well positioned for the appointment of an independent Chairman of the Board. U Nay Aye is well qualified for the role with his extensive experience and I am confident that I am passing this role to a pair of safe hands. “
U Nay Aye said, “I have been deeply impressed over the last few months as Board member to see the work and progress at uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့် and I am delighted to be offered this opportunity to lead as Chairman and as an independent member of the Board. U Ne Aung leaves a legacy of 12 years of decisive leadership having led the Board from the start of the Bank with its impressive development. He has had a relentless focus and drive to ensure the building of a sustainable bank with a positive impact to the wider economy and community. I look forward to working with the Board and the strong Management Team to continue this focus. May I offer on behalf of the new Board, our thanks for U Ne Aung’s outstanding contributions.”
Christopher Loh, CEO of uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့် further added, “ When U Ne Aung first expressed in 2020, his desire to step down, we spent effort to find a suitable replacement who would build on his legacy. Guided by his vision for a well governed bank, we have been able to achieve much over the last 12 years. On the foundations built, we began in 2017 a new phase to rebrand, refresh and accelerate revenue growth of the Bank. U Ne Aung has passionately supported the reforms at the Bank and as an industry leader had been advocating the leading of change and the humanising of banking. Today, we have a progressive bank looking to continue to build on this sustainable model. U Nay Aye’s appointment as Non-Executive Independent Chairman is an enhancement of the Bank’s corporate governance. His broad experience and knowledge will benefit us tremendously and we look forward to his leadership in providing Board oversight to the Bank”.
