Background
Ghana International Bank has appointed Ian Greenstreet as its new Chief Executive Officer, replacing Dean Adansi as the bank looks to build on improving financial results and push its growth strategy forward.
Greenstreet brings more than four decades of experience across international banking, investment management, risk management and corporate governance. He has worked at major financial institutions including ABN AMRO, Lloyds Bank, and Henderson Fund Management, and has held chief executive, chief risk officer, chief financial officer, and non-executive director roles across the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and Africa.
A Chartered Accountant trained with Deloitte in London, Greenstreet also carries board-level experience across financial institutions in Africa and international markets, with a track record in audit, risk oversight, and institutional strategy.
Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, Chairman of Ghana International Bank and Governor of the Bank of Ghana, said Greenstreet’s profile made him the right choice for this moment.
He said that Ian Greenstreet’s strong leadership experience, regulatory knowledge, strategic thinking, and understanding of both global markets and Ghana make him well-suited to guide the bank through its next stage of growth and development.
The board expressed confidence that under Greenstreet’s leadership, the bank will strengthen its standing as a leading financial institution while delivering disciplined growth and sustainable profitability.
The appointment lands at a time when the bank is reporting its strongest financial run in recent years. Ghana International Bank posted a profit before tax of seven million euros in 2025, up from 5.8 million pounds in 2024 and 4.3 million pounds in 2023.
Operating income climbed from 40 million pounds in 2023 to 50.6 million pounds in 2025, a rise of 10.6 million pounds over two years. The numbers point to a bank gaining ground steadily and Greenstreet steps in with a clear mandate to keep that momentum going.
