Pride Bank Limited has appointed Beatrice Lugalambi as its new Executive Director.
In a statement, the bank said Lugalambi brings more than 30 years of experience in banking and financial services, with expertise in business development, corporate banking, marketing, customer experience and institutional leadership.
She has held several senior management positions in Uganda’s banking sector, building experience in business growth, corporate relations, marketing and customer service.
Before joining Pride Bank, Lugalambi worked at Centenary Bank, where she served as General Manager for Corporate Communications and Marketing before taking up the role of General Manager for Business Development and Marketing.
Her career also includes leadership positions at Barclays Bank Uganda and Bank of Africa, where she gained experience in different areas of the financial services industry.
Her appointment comes as Pride Bank expands its operations following its transition to a Tier II credit institution. The change allows the bank to mobilise deposits and provide a wider range of financial products and services to individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses.
Pride Bank Managing Director Veronica Namagembe said Lugalambi’s extensive banking experience and understanding of the local market would be valuable as the institution pursues its growth ambitions.
Namagembe said the bank intends to build on its work in financial inclusion, strengthen customer relationships and expand the services it provides.
Lugalambi holds a Master of Business Administration from the Eastern and Southern Africa Management Institute (ESAMI), a Postgraduate Diploma in Management from Uganda Management Institute and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Makerere University.
Outside the banking industry, she is involved in community service and mentorship through Rotary, where she has also held leadership responsibilities.
