First Caribbean is pleased to announce the appointment of Larry N. Lawrence to the post of Country Manager and Head of Corporate of its operations in the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI).
Larry, a career banker with CIBC FirstCaribbean for the past 20 years, is looking forward to the challenges of this new assignment.
“I am very pleased to be appointed to this role, which opens a new and exciting chapter in my career. With my experience in Credit Expiries and Credit Writing, I intend to grow not only the Corporate side of the business in TCI, but indeed the entire business. I am excited to be able to share my ideas with the team here in TCI as we chart our course for the future”
A Grenadian by birth, this marks Larry’s second assignment in the TCI.
Prior to this appointment, Larry was Head of Corporate – CIBC FirstCaribbean in Grenada and his first assignment in TCI from 2004-2009 saw him as the Credit Manager of the bank.
It was during his first stint in TCI that Larry really grew into the role of banker and saw many “Credit Manager of the Year” awards during his tenure.
Larry, who holds a Banking Certificate and an MBA (Finance), University of Leicester, relies on the wisdom of his two favourite quotes, “Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential” and “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
During his leisure time, Larry, father of two teenaged daughters, can be found reading fiction and self-development books. He is also passionate about the sport of cricket.
