For more than six years, Birama Sidibe has served as the vice president of operations at the Islamic Development Bank, the leading development finance institution for Islamic countries and communities.
The position allowed him to oversee the bank’s projects in over 50 countries, as well as its various partnerships with different entities, including other multilateral development banks, across a number of sectors.
This year, however, he is looking to make a comeback at the African Development Bank, the institution he worked at for 23 years in different capacities. And among his priorities is to modernize and adapt the bank’s business model to the continent’s emerging requirements.
