Gbolahan Olukayode Folayan (OON), the newly-appointed Managing Director of Equitorial Trust Bank has assumed office.
Folayan, a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, financial/investment expert and former Managing Director of Regent Bank, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from California State University, San Francisco and a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance from the same university.
He had his executive management education at Harvard Business School, Stanford University and Manchester Institute of Technology.
He is a thoroughbred professional banker who possesses the right antecedents and background to make a success of the task of turning around the fortunes of ETB and take it to greater heights.
He cut his teeth as a banker of note at Bank of America which later changed its name to Savannah Bank where he rose to the position of General Manager, before he was appointed as an Executive Director of Union Bank.
Folayan’s professional acumen was first noticed in 2005 when he was appointed into the interim management boards of Allstates Bank PLC, Lead Merchant Bank and Eagle Bank where he distinguished himself in the wind-down process of the financial institutions.
