BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has named Trinidadian career finance executive Gregory N. Hill as its Vice President of Finance and Corporate Services.
The region’s premier financial institution said that Hill, who assumed office on Thursday, is taking charge of a portfolio that includes finance, human resources, information technology, and communications.
The CDB said that Hill, whose remit also includes resource mobilization, will lead the thrust to increase access to development finance for CDB’s Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs).
The bank said its urgency to improve resource availability and terms and conditions for access is heightened in light of the region’s mounting need to finance climate action, sustainable energy transitions, infrastructure development, enhancements to social services, and other elements necessary for growth and sustainable development.
“A matter of high priority, the bank is focused on enhancing the financial ecosystem supporting the region’s economies to meet the unique and varied needs of our Borrowing Member Countries who must balance current fiscal obligations with strategies for future growth while building resilience to withstand financial, climate or social shocks,” said CDB President, Dr. Hyginus “Gene” Leon.
“Gregory’s wealth of experience in the regional banking sector will be invaluable to CDB, and I am pleased to welcome him to the executive leadership team,” he added.
The Trinidad and Tobago national career in the regional finance sector spans more than 30 years, with his most recent role being managing director at ANSA Merchant Bank in the Twin Island Republic.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of the West Indies and an Executive MBA from the Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business. He is also a graduate and Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (UK) (FCCA) and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago.
