GCB Bank PLC (GCB) has appointed Aurelia Baaba Ofori Odame as Executive Head of Afro-Asia Trade and State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).

The strategic appointment comes at a pivotal time as the Bank accelerates efforts to deepen cross-regional trade, strengthen public sector partnerships, and unlock new growth opportunities across Africa and Asia.

In her new role, Odame will lead the development and execution of GCB's Afro-Asia trade and SOE engagement strategy across two of the world's most dynamic and rapidly evolving economic regions.

A statement issued by the Bank in Accra yesterday said: "The position reflects the Bank's vision to be a bridge between emerging markets, facilitating capital, trade flows, access to markets, and development impact." The Africa-Asia trade corridor has grown significantly over the past decade, driven by expanding infrastructure investment, digital transformation, and increasing public-private sector collaboration.
