Mr. Peter C.N. Sangber-Dery, who is currently a Consultant, is both a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Banker. Until January 2019 he was the Deputy Managing Director of the Heritage Bank Ltd. Prior to coming into that position, Mr. Sangber-Dery had had a very fruitful career in the banking industry spanning over thirty-eight years. It was in 1979 that he started his banking career at the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB), where by dint of hard work and commitment to duty he held several positions and rose through the ranks to be General Manager.
In addition to serving as Branch Manager at the Koforidua Branch, where he turned the then loss making branch into a highly profitable one, he also served as Branch Manager of the Cedi House Branch (the then Head Office Branch), where he led his team of staff to grow the deposits and the loan portfolio of the branch, and also tremendously increased the profits made by the branch.
Apparently, in recognition of his good performance at the branch level, and to further give him more challenging tasks, Mr Sangber-Dery was moved to head the Treasury Department of the Bank. As Treasurer of the Bank (ADB), he was also a member of the Management Committee of the Bank. Here again, he proved equal to the task, as he led his staff to manage the resources so well that the Treasury Department contributed very significantly towards the overall profits made by the bank over the entire period of his role as Treasurer. Indeed, owing to his good achievements as the Treasurer of the bank, he was retained in that role for eight years (1996-2004). Other Departments of the bank that Mr Sangber-Dery headed are the Accounts (or Finance) Department, and the Audit Department, where he was Chief Internal Auditor (or General Manager/Audit).
In addition to being a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (Ghana), and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (Ghana), he is also a Fellow of the Institute of Directors (Ghana), a Certified Information Systems Auditor, a Member of the Ghana Association of Restructuring and Insolvency Advisors (GARIA), and an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), licensed by the Registrar General under the Corporate Insolvency and Restructuring Act 2020, Act 1015, and the Companies Act 2019, Act 992. Mr. Sangber-Dery holds the BSc Admin (Accounting Option) Degree from the School of Administration (now University of Ghana Business School), and an MBA from l’Université de Paris 1, Sorbonne, France.
Mr Sangber-Dery has a lot of experience, and has served, and still serves, on a number of Boards including the Forest Plantation Development Fund Board (where he represented the Agricultural Development Bank), the Koforidua Catholic Diocesan Health Board, the Cardinal Dery Foundation, the Supreme Executive Board, (Knights of St John International, United States of America), and the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
He also served as a member of the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (Ghana), from 2007 to 2019, where he served on a number of Committees, and also held the
