The Único Bank has, since this Monday, a new President of the Executive Committee (CEO). This is Joel Rodrigues, Master in Economics with a specialization in Finance from the Nova School of Business and Economics in Lisbon.
With extensive professional experience in the Financial Sector, Joel Rodrigues joined the Corporate Finance team of Banco BIG Portugal in early 2008, having participated in several financial advisory projects, M&A transactions, private equity and Capital Markets operations.
In 2015 he was responsible for the implementation process of Banco BIG in Mozambique, developing executive business management skills and multidisciplinary teams in several areas of banking activity, namely Investment Banking, Institutional Banking, Specialized Savings and Investment Banking, Accounting, Compliance/Regulation, Planning and Control, Risk Management and AML.
Under his leadership, Banco BIG Mozambique, Joel Rodrigues has become in a short period of time, one of the most profitable banks in the sector, having built a relevant presence in Investment Banking, particularly in capital markets and financial advisory.
With this position, Joel Rodrigues guarantees to continue the legacy of Único bank: “To continue the legacy of the Bank is one of the biggest challenges that awaits me and that I face with great motivation. Naturally, the shareholder framework we have today is very relevant. We are part of the Nedbank Group, which gives us great peace of mind, but also a greater responsibility on a day-to-day basis,” says Rodrigues.
On his turn, Terence Sibiya, Executive President of Nedbank Group for the African Regions says that “the nomination of Joel Rodrigues was the result of a careful and rigorous process, among several skilled professionals and reinforces the commitment and bet of Nedbank Group in Mozambique”.
