The United Bank for Africa (UBA) Ghana has appointed Juliana Asare as its Chief Finance Officer (CFO), making her the first woman to hold the position in the bank’s history in Ghana.
Asare who previously served as CFO of UBA Sierra Leone, brings over two decades of progressive banking experience spanning Ghana and Sierra Leone to the role with her professional credentials include Fellowship of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA), membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of both Ghana and Sierra Leone, and certification as a Treasury Operations professional (ACI).
Juliana Asare holds a First-Class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Ghana and an MBA in Finance from the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). She is also a certified Green and Sustainable Finance professional.
Under her watch, UBA Sierra Leone ranked consistently among the top performers within the UBA Group, recording timely audit completions and strong financial discipline.
Her influence extends beyond the bank as she also served as President of the Accounting and Finance Standing Committee of the Sierra Leone Association of Commercial Banks (SLACB) and represented the industry on the Bank of Sierra Leone’s Accounting and Realignment Technical Committee, which oversaw the country’s currency redenomination exercise.
As CFO of UBA Ghana, she is expected to champion financial excellence and strategic transformation as the bank reinforces its position as a leading pan-African financial institution.
