Fidelity Bank’s Board has selected Deputy Managing Director Atta Yeboah Gyan as the bank’s next Managing Director, effective November 21, 2026. JoyBusiness understands that the appointment is subject to regulatory approval from the Bank of Ghana (BoG). Mr Gyan is expected to succeed Julian Opuni, whose eight-year tenure as Managing Director ends on November 21.
Who is Atta Yeboah Gyan? Mr Gyan has more than two decades of banking experience spanning finance, corporate strategy, risk management, operations, audit and regulatory compliance. He joined Fidelity Bank in 2007 and has held several senior positions, including Chief Financial Officer. As Deputy Managing Director, he has overseen operations and support functions.
He began his banking career as an Inspector at SG-SSB, now Société Générale Ghana, after a stint at Ghana Airways. At SG-SSB, he served on an operations and control task force that supported the bank’s transition from local control to foreign ownership. Before joining Fidelity Bank, Mr Gyan worked as Finance Manager at Joy FM. He established the station’s finance function, coordinated strategy and budgeting, and oversaw credit control and client service.
He is a certified Financial Risk Manager and a member of the Global Association of Risk Professionals in the United States. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana. Mr Gyan holds an Executive MBA in Finance and a Bachelor of Science in Administration, specialising in Accounting, from the University of Ghana.
His qualifications also include a post-chartered diploma in International Financial Reporting Standards. Why is the board appointing a new MD now? The leadership change follows the completion of Mr Opuni’s eight-year tenure as Managing Director. Industry figures have credited him with maintaining discipline and building on the foundations laid by his predecessors.
JoyBusiness understands that Mr Opuni is expected to remain available for about six months to support the transition.
