For the first time, the Arise Supervisory Board convened its quarterly meeting in Zambia from 24 – 27 February 2025. The decision to hold the meeting in Zambia was driven by the desire to deepen the board’s understanding of the operations of one of Arise’s key investees, Zanaco Bank.
Over the course of the three-day visit, the board engaged extensively with Zanaco’s management and executive team. A standout moment was a special town hall session where the board shared valuable leadership insights and strategies for success with the bank’s talent team.
The trip culminated with a visit to some of Zanaco’s key clients, including ZESCO, the Ministry of Finance and Planning, and Zambeef, providing the board with a comprehensive view of the bank’s impact on the broader economy.
The board visit to Zambia was a resounding success, underscoring Arise’s commitment to fostering strong relationships with its investees and partners while enhancing its strategic oversight.
