KCB Bank Kenya Appoints Peter Kipkorir Ng’eno as Director of Corporate Banking

KCB Bank Kenya has appointed Peter Kipkorir Ng’eno as Director of Corporate Banking, effective March 27, 2026, pending regulatory approval.

The appointment follows the departure of John Okulo from the role and places one of the bank’s most experienced internal corporate banking executives in its most senior client-facing position.

Ng’eno is no stranger to the seat. He has spent the better part of eight years building his career within KCB’s Corporate Banking Division, serving most recently as Executive Head of Client Coverage and Business Development since February 2022.

He previously held the position of Acting Corporate Banking Director between April and September 2021 — a stint that, in retrospect, reads as a dress rehearsal for the substantive appointment now confirmed. Before that, he served as Sector Head for Manufacturing across two separate periods, developing deep expertise in one of Kenya’s most capital-intensive and relationship-driven corporate segments.

His broader banking career spans two decades and crosses some of East Africa’s most reputable financial institutions. Before joining KCB, Ng’eno served as Local Account Manager for Large Corporates at Ecobank, held Senior and Relationship Manager roles at CfC Stanbic Bank across the coast and commercial banking divisions, and spent more than three years at Standard Chartered Bank as a Business Relationship Manager in SME Banking — where he generated revenues exceeding KSh 60 million in a single year and was formally recognised for exemplary revenue growth and relationship management.

He began his banking career at NIC Bank City Centre as a Business Relationship Officer. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance from the University of Nairobi.

In his new role, Ng’eno will be responsible for driving the growth and long-term sustainability of KCB’s Corporate Banking business, with a mandate to leverage the Group’s full scale and capabilities across its regional footprint.

For a division that sits at the centre of KCB’s revenue engine, it is an appointment that carries both strategic weight and institutional significance — and one that rewards a professional who has earned it from the inside out.
