New CEO of Bank of Baroda

Bank of BarodaBank of Baroda awaits their new CEO Mr. P.S. Jayakumar. Bank of Baroda is a public sector bank which is based in Mumbai and provides a variety of financial products and services to its customers. Some of them include deposits, loans, debit and credit cards and fund transfers using IFSC codes. Currently, B.B. Joshi is the only executive director on board full time.
           Mr. PS Jayakumar is a former Citibank executive and was chosen in August to be the managing director and CEO of Bank of Baroda. He was previously the CEO and managing director of VBHC Value Homes, a private sector firm. Coming onboard with Bank of Baroda, he may face challenges he moves from the private sector to the public. Dealing with the Government system is a whole new game but he is fortunate to enter the public sector as the Central Government is giving more autonomy and working at arm’s length. Also his acceptability inside the bank will be pivotal, but taking into consideration the professionalism in Bank of Baroda, he is unlikely to be subject to any resistance.

        Bank of Baroda hasn’t had a full time CEO since July end. S.S. Mundra, CMD, had shifted his position to deputy governor at RBI. Mr. Ranjan Dhawan who was managing director and CEO-in charge retired at the end of September.
