In a powerful validation of its commitment to ethical leadership, strategic foresight, and a culture of excellence, Pride Bank celebrated a major triumph at the Uganda CFO Awards 2025 on Thursday this week, at a function held at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
The bank’s Chief Financial Officer, Irene Mwoyogwona, emerged as the winner in the highly coveted Leadership Category, a recognition that goes beyond individual achievement to affirm the transformative vision driving the entire institution.
The Uganda CFO Awards, organised annually by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Uganda and Deloitte Uganda, stand as the nation’s premier platform for recognising finance professionals who are not only managing books but are actively shaping the future of finance through innovation and responsible governance.
Mwoyogwona’s victory in the Leadership Category is a testament to her:
Outstanding Vision: Demonstrating the strategic foresight necessary to navigate complex financial landscapes.
Integrity: Upholding the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct.
Impact: Driving measurable transformation and sustainable growth within the organisation.
Her win underscores the critical role a CFO plays today: moving past traditional accounting roles to become a strategic partner who inspires, empowers, and directs the overall trajectory of the business.
Reflecting Pride Bank’s Culture of Excellence
The Pride Bank team, which joined industry leaders, visionaries, and change-makers for the incredible evening, views this award as a reflection of its collective values.
The achievement is a clear sign that the bank’s internal culture is steeped in:
Excellence: A constant drive to perform at the highest level across all financial operations and services.
Purpose: Maintaining a focus on ethical practices and strategic objectives that contribute to broader economic goals.
As the institution moves forward, Mwoyogwona’s celebrated leadership will serve as a beacon, reinforcing the bank’s dedication to a style of leadership that inspires and empowers its teams to deliver innovation and drive meaningful transformation in Uganda’s competitive financial sector.
This award firmly establishes Pride Bank not just as a financial service provider but as a place where integrity and visionary leadership are championed.
