Absa Bank Kenya has joined as a partner for the 2025 CFO Awards for East Africa, the region’s most prestigious celebration of finance leadership.
Billed as the 'Oscars of Finance', the CFO Awards for East Africa recognise CFOs of listed companies, large corporations, state-owned entities and government institutions who have demonstrated excellence in financial leadership.
Winners are selected from a list of top CFO nominees through a rigorous judging process led by an independent panel of finance and business leaders.
The panel consists of seasoned finance and business leaders from diverse fields, some of them former CFOs, who bring their expertise and unique insights to the process.
The black-tie gala will be held at the Emara Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi on 27 November 2025, bringing together top CFOs, business leaders and partners for an exquisite evening of networking, entertainment and fine cuisine.
Through this partnership, Absa Bank Kenya affirms its support for the region’s finance community. The bank has been a key player in East Africa’s financial sector, serving businesses and individuals across the region.
The 2025 CFO Awards will honour excellence across key categories including CFO of the Year, Young CFO of the Year, Finance Transformation, Compliance and Governance, and Finance and ESG, among others.
