Thierno-Habib Hann assumes office as the CEO of Pan-African Housing Institution, Shelter Afrique<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mr.\u00a0 Thierno-Habib Hann brings to the Company <\/em>over 20 years of international experience in housing finance, capital markets\/investment banking and structured finance.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Mr. Hann has a diverse experience across the private sector, public sector and DFIs<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Nairobi, Kenya: 11 January 2023 \u2013<\/strong> Mr. Thierno-Habib Hann has assumed the position of the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nairobi-based Pan-African housing development financier Shelter Afrique following his appointment in August last year.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Hann joins Shelter Afrique from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), where he served as the Asia\/Pacific Lead for housing finance, based in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n

    He takes over from Mr. Kingsley Muwowo, who has been serving in an acting capacity following the change in management last year.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Hann has extensive international experience in housing finance, capital markets\/investment banking and structured finance spanning over 20 years.\u00a0\u00a0He brings a wealth of leadership experience in development and investment, sharp insight into the real estate landscape and a strong track record of delivery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    He is expected to strengthen governance, be an embodiment of the organisation\u2019s values and drive the investment strategy of the Company focused on delivering large-scale affordable housing.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0Speaking on his appointment, Mr. Hann expressed his gratitude and appreciation, \u201cI\u2019m happy and honoured to take on the new role at Shelter Afrique; I would like to extend my appreciation to the Shareholders and the Board of Directors for their confidence in me. I would like to thank the staff, partners and stakeholders for their warm welcome and their commitment to the mandate of Shelter Afrique. I am also grateful to my former colleagues at the IFC and World Bank. The institution and title may have changed, but I believe we all share a joint commitment and goal of developing our world and I look forward to collaborating with them. I would especially like to thank Mr. Kingsley Muwowo for the role he has played in the transition and for his personal and professional support; his service to the Company as CFO and eventually as Acting CEO has been invaluable to the Company.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Hann continued on the significance of Shelter Afrique and affordable housing on the continent, \u201cHousing is critical to the development of any nation, and Shelter-Afrique\u2019s mandate is both unique and important, particularly as many African countries face a significant turning point in their housing agenda. We want to be part of this turning point. It is an honour to lead this team, and together, we will work towards harnessing national resources to improve local populations\u2019 living conditions and to achieve Shelter Afrique\u2019s mandate,\u201d<\/p>\n

    Illustrious career<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Mr. Hann began his career at the consulting firm Arthur Andersen, LLC as a Senior Consultant in Financial Services and Capital Markets in New York City. He has worked at JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs as Manager and Vice President, respectively and led investment teams issuing mortgage-backed securities (RMBS\/CMO) and credit derivatives (CDS) in these organisations. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    He also served at the World Bank Group as the Private Sector Development Program Manager in Guinea, responsible for designing and implementing the business climate improvement program while developing a bankable pipeline of investments and government advisory projects in strategic sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

    Hann holds an MBA in Finance & Investments from the Zicklin School of Business, Bernard Baruch, City University of New York; a master\u2019s degree in Accounting and Finance (M.S.T.C.F) and a bachelor\u2019s degree in Management and Applied Economics (GEA), from Paris IX Dauphine University, with honours.<\/p>\n

    A\u00a0native of Guinea (Conakry), Habib is the co-founder of “AngelAfrica” \u2013 a Pan-African thinktank formed to achieve economic prosperity on the continent by building and fostering innovative technological ideas, investors and business partnerships.<\/p>\n

    New Beginnings <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Speaking on his plans for Shelter Afrique, the new Managing Director emphasised his focus on growing the portfolio with quality assets, generating impact for stakeholders, and ensuring shoring up the organisation\u2019s capital base. \u201cMy immediate focus will be to optimise the organisation’s performance and ensure we deliver on our mandate. To do this, in the immediate term, management is committed to strengthening the brand and corporate governance, ensuring financial sustainability with a strong execution capability, strengthening risk management framework as well as deepening capacity within the organisation and advocating for innovative solutions in the delivery of affordable housing.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI also plan to embark on broad stakeholder engagement to understand other ways to address our mandate; we welcome the views of our shareholders and partners as the task of delivering affordable housing is a shared one, and no single organisation can address the growing housing crisis alone\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Hann also commented on the current organisation renewal and corporate governance, \u201cWe are very pleased that as part of our renewal, our Board has nominated two women to lead as Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson for the first time in our history. We look forward to their stewardship and vision for the organisation\u201d.<\/p>\n
