UT Bank Deputy MD resigns

The Deputy Managing Director of UT Bank, Mrs Pearl Esua-Mensah, has resigned.

Her resignation takes effect from Friday, June 26, 2015.

It is not clear why she resigned from a bank she has worked for since its inception.

Subsequently, however, the bank has appointed Mr Stephen Antwi-Asimeng to take charge of her duties.

Meanwhile, a release from the bank issued in Accra quoted the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, Mr Prince Kofi Amoabeng, as saying, “Pearl has been a key member of the management team that has been at the forefront of most of the achievements of UT. Since joining the company in 2004, she has helped the company win various awards,” it said.

The release said she was “first as our Director of Finance and Administration and then Deputy Managing Director and she was also influential in the corporate rebranding from Unique Trust to UTFSL and later UT Bank, as well as listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange.”

The release added that Mrs Esua- Mensah was part of the leadership team of UT Bank that won the CIG Bank of the Year in 2011.

It said: “Pearl’s 11 years with the UT Group have been marked by outstanding performance and she has demonstrated remarkable talent and sound judgment.”

Mrs Esua-Mensah submitted her resignation to the board, citing her desire to “pursue long-cherished personal goals.”

She expressed her gratitude to the entire UT team, saying her years with the bank have been rewarding, fulfilling and exciting.”
