Aupa has been with the bank for 12 years, during which he has held various senior roles, including that of Chief Operations Officer and interim Managing Director for Barclays Botswana for two years.
In his most recent role, he has successfully led innovation initiatives in West Africa (Ghana), where the bank worked with a FinTech to build a banking platform on Blockchain to drive financial inclusion and innovative financial products.
Given the ever-evolving business environment (driven by technology companies and other non-traditional competitors) we have to continually consider different models in order to future-proof our business.
In his current role, Aupa will be responsible for developing Alternative Business Models through strategic partnerships in a structured experimentation approach which will allow for quick test and learn – just as our more agile, non-traditional competitors, to find new ways of connecting and serving our customers better, and generating new revenue streams for the bank.
