The National Bank of Dominica Ltd.

\u201cI appreciate the Board\u2019s confidence in me and am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the organization. The Bank has proven its strength and resilience over the years, and I am confident that we can continue to build on its success and provide our customers with the outstanding customer service and support they deserve,\u201d Mrs. Severin-Lestrade remarked.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Linda Toussaint-Peter has a twenty-year successful track record of accomplishment at NBD.\u00a0\u00a0 She has held several management positions, including Chief Financial Officer and Executive Manager of Credit and Business Development.\u00a0 Mrs. Toussaint-Peter is a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA) and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in accounting from the University of the West Indies.\u00a0 She is also an Accredited Director.<\/p>\n

As Deputy Managing Director, Mrs. Toussaint-Peter will work alongside Mrs. Severin-Lestrade and the Board of Directors to ensure that the Bank continues to adapt and grow, in the context of the changing banking environment.<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Urania Williams, Chair of the Board of Directors, \u201cThe Board is very pleased to welcome these two women as leaders of the Bank in this exciting stage of its growth.\u00a0 Mrs. Severin-Lestrade\u2019s extensive banking background, practical approach and passion for customers, together with Mrs. Toussaint Peter\u2019s wealth of experience with the Bank will take NBD to the next level.\u00a0 The Board is excited to work with them and is confident that NBD will be well positioned under their leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Bank of Dominica Ltd.
