    EXIM BANK TANZANIA

    HEAD OF REGION

    HEAD OF OPERATIONS & HEAD OF REGION, Exim Bank (T) Ltd (5th largest bank in Tanzania in asset size) resigned 19th Jan 09 to 15th Nov 2013

    HOO & Head of Region (Northern region), Senior Management Scale reporting to CEO, Acted as CEO
    Team leader for updating of all the policies of the bank; Assisting the CEO in the day to day operations and administration and providing feedback to the Board of Directors. Headed the entire Northern region of the bank with twelve states and Zanzibar comprising of 16 branches out of 25 branches of the bank. to the portfolio.

    Was recruited and posted to Exim Bank with a view to improve the business position under all parameters for the Up-country regions. When I joined, the business was not explored to the market potential and the upkeep of the branches were not up to the level. My focus from day one was to meet the existing clientele and also prospective businesses. It was done in a phased manner and it had shown the results in quick time. Frequent customer meets were arranged at regular intervals and to follow up with the customers persistently to ensure that the existing customers were retained and new ones on boarded. In fact I had been successful in onboarding almost all corporate customers to our fold in the 5 years I stayed with Exim bank and the promoters were quite satisfied with it. Special focus was given to onboarding retail customers as well through establishing an effective marketing and sales team consisting of DSAs (Direct selling agents).
    As mentioned earlier, knack of building and maintaining solid relationships, a very realistic optimism at extreme pressure and ability to draw people together around an issue, engaging them, and getting the best results through others were my strong points to achieve the desired goals and I had been quite successful in this throughout my career.
    Tanzania was basically a consumer market and lots of commodities used to get imported to country. The mainstay indigenous business of Tanzania was winged around tourism, mining, trading, and agriculture and to some extend manufacturing. Hence my focus was to concentrate on these vital segments to garner business. Major focus was attached to safari companies, logistics and mining to capture clientele under both liabilities and assets side. But at the same time any opportunity coming through by way of other segments, I never used to miss out.
    We were holding the accounts of most of the companies under the above segments as our corporate clients with deposits and advances ranging from USD 100,000 up to USD 10m.
    In addition, I was handling the entire corporate and retail banking portfolio for the northern region of the bank.
