New CIBC country head
Experienced banker Victor Boyce will be CIBC Caribbean’s new Barbados country head from February 1, subject to regulatory approval.
Chief executive officer Mark St Hill recently named him to succeed now holder of that office, Kemar Polius.
St Hill also announced Polius is moving to the post of senior director, head of corporate banking and sustainable finance, following the retirement of Gillian Charles-Gollop, who previously led the bank’s business in that area.
“Victor is a career banker with 25 years of experience in the industry, primarily in corporate and investment banking, retail banking, operations, risk management, treasury, international corporate banking and wealth management. This makes him an excellent fit for the demands of the role of head of country for a mature and complex market like Barbados,” St Hill said.
Boyce began his banking career as a teller in 1994 and progressed to more senior positions, ultimately achieving the position of director and team lead, corporate and commercial banking for that financial services entity in Barbados.
He subsequently served as the director of corporate business development for the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States and the country head for St Lucia at CIBC Caribbean for three years. During this time, he played a significant role in the company’s expansion.
Boyce also spent three years as managing director of another financial institution in Barbados, where he oversaw substantial transformations, including that bank’s rebranding, the introduction of innovative products to the market, and the expansion of the business. (SC/PR)
