Fidelity Bank’s board has selected Deputy Managing Director Atta Yeboah Gyan to become the bank’s next Managing Director, effective 21 November 2026.
The appointment is subject to regulatory approval from the Bank of Ghana, the regulator for all commercial banks in the country.
Gyan will succeed Julian Opuni, whose eight‑year tenure as Managing Director ends on the same day. Opuni is expected to remain available for about six months to support the transition.
With more than two decades of banking experience, Gyan has held senior roles across finance, corporate strategy, risk management, operations, audit and regulatory compliance. He joined Fidelity Bank in 2007 and has served as Chief Financial Officer and, most recently, as Deputy Managing Director overseeing operations and support functions.
Before Fidelity, Gyan worked as Finance Manager at Joy FM, where he established the station’s finance function and coordinated strategy and budgeting. Earlier in his career he was an Inspector at SG‑SSB (now Société Générale Ghana) and served on an operations and control task force during the bank’s transition to foreign ownership.
Gyan is a certified Financial Risk Manager and a member of the Global Association of Risk Professionals in the United States. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana. His academic credentials include an Executive MBA in Finance, a Bachelor of Science in Administration (specialising in Accounting) from the University of Ghana, and a post‑chartered diploma in International Financial Reporting Standards.
Industry observers note that Gyan has maintained discipline and built on the foundations laid by his predecessors during his time at Fidelity.
