The Board of Directors of Versus Bank officially announced on Wednesday the appointment of Georges Wilfried Kacou as the new Chief Executive Officer. He will assume his duties on May 1, 2026, replacing Jérôme Ehui, after approval from the regulator, the Banking Commission of the UEMOA, obtained as of March 17, 2026.
This appointment marks the beginning of a new strategic phase for the institution, which is controlled in particular by Harvest Capital Holding and IPS-CGRAE. The Board mentions an acceleration of transformation, with a focus on governance, sustainable growth, and the implementation of a new strategic plan in the Ivorian market.
With over 20 years of experience in the sector, Georges Wilfried Kacou has a background in commercial development and organizational transformation, gained in both France and Côte d’Ivoire. A graduate of Université Paris Nanterre (formerly Paris X), he has also completed training at HEC Paris and ESSEC Business School.
The challenge is clear: to consolidate achievements and bring the bank up to international standards in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.
