State Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima has sent congratulatory message to the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for CDH Investment Bank Thoko Mkavea.

The bank unveiled Mkavea on Friday last week, saying he has replaced Kwame Ahadzi who has retired from the post after two years of dedicated and inspirational leadership.

The bank also disclosed that Mkavea will be doubling as Managing Director.

Writing on his official Facebook Chilima said Mkavea is suitable for the position.

“I send my heart felt congratulations to Thoko Mkavea on your appointment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for CDH Investment Bank. Having joined the bank in 2007 and rising through the ranks, I know you are a great fit for this new position.

‘Your wealth of experience in banking; corporate finance and advisory; fund management and investment banking – will surely guide you to inspire your team as you lead the bank into a prosperous future,” wrote Chilima.

Continental Discount House Bank (CDH) Bank started its operations in 2012.
