Priscilla Leonce, Corporate Manager at CIBC in Antigua, has recently achieved a significant milestone in her career.

She has been recognized for her exceptional service and commitment and has become one of the ten winners in the Caribbean region to receive the FirstStars Annual CEO Award for 2023.

Ms. Leonce has been associated with the bank since 1989 and has served in various roles. She started as a Credit Officer in Antigua and was later promoted to Credit Manager in the British Virgin Islands.

In May 2020, she returned to Antigua and took up the position of Corporate Manager in the Corporate and Investment Banking Department.

In her current role, she effectively manages a portfolio of corporate clients and provides world-class relationship management, top-quality risk control, and helps in the personal development of junior team members as needed.

Ms. Leonce is also accountable for the credit quality of the client portfolio and ensures an exceptional customer experience.

Ms. Leonce was surprised with the good news by Country Head Ladesa James-Williams and her colleagues bearing gifts and congratulations.

She was overwhelmed but happy to receive this prestigious award. Ms. Leonce expressed her gratitude towards her team in Antigua and credited the award to their dedicated service to clients with the best service and products.

The FirstStars Annual CEO’s Awards is a revamped recognition scheme started in 2022, for employees, which was established in keeping with the bank’s march towards digitalization, and was a comprehensive recognition program.

The gala awards reception will be hosted by the bank’s CEO, Mark St. Hill, in Barbados in April. Ms. Leonce will be attending the event along with the other regional awardees.

Ms. Leonce’s colleague, Michael Roach, Manager of the bank’s Platinum Banking Team, has won the award on two occasions, which is a testament to the bank’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding exceptional talent.
