During his tenure as Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Bank from 2002 to 2013, Aig-Imoukhuede played a significant role in the bank’s growth and success. Under his leadership, Access Bank expanded its customer base, employee count, and asset base, becoming one of Nigeria’s top 5 banks with a presence in multiple African countries and the United Kingdom.
After retiring from his role at Access Bank, Aig-Imoukhuede co-founded the Tengen Family Office Limited, overseeing investments in various sectors. Through the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, he focuses on developing Nigeria’s future government leaders and improving access to quality healthcare.
As the new Non-Executive Chairman of Access Holdings, Aig-Imoukhuede will work with the Board of Directors to provide guidance and oversight to the executive management team.
