FINCA Impact Finance Appointment of CEO

FINCA believes in creating sustainable solutions to eradicate global poverty.

We started in 1984 with a powerful idea: if rural women farmers could form a​ Village Bank to share a loan and guarantee repayment, they could access the funds to invest in their farming operations, grow their businesses, and improve their standard of living. It was the dawn of what we know today as microfinance.

Remaining true to this original idea but evolving our business model to meet the needs of low-income customers across diverse geographies, FINCA is now a global leader in mobilizing and investing capital in lasting and sustainable solutions to eradicate poverty. We focus on solutions that are most important to our customers: improving livelihoods, building resilience, and investing in education.

FINCA Microfinance Holding Company (FMH), operated by FINCA Impact Finance, is the largest strategic investment vehicle of FINCA International. FINCA Impact Finance is a global network of community-based banks and microfinance institutions dedicated to financial inclusion and impact, serving low-income individuals across Africa, Central Asia, and Eurasia. FINCA Impact Finance subsidiaries deliver a suite of financial solutions to underserved entrepreneurs and households in some of the world's most complex markets, where the need for tools and resources to build financial health is greatest.

FINCA Impact Finance is seeking to appoint a new CEO to implement an ambitious 2025-2029 strategy focused on scaling impact and transforming operations through digital innovation to reach more people, more quickly, and at a lower cost. This is an opportunity to reshape one of the world's most recognized microfinance networks for a new era of digital, inclusive, and mission-led growth and to amplify impact for millions of customers.

We are seeking a CEO with the proven ability to lead transformational change — especially culture change — and to motivate and inspire FINCA leaders to achieve our transformational goals. The ideal candidate has experience working in microfinance, inclusive finance, or social enterprise in emerging markets.
