THE Ministry of Housing and Water (MoHW), announced Tuesday that former Republic Bank Guyana manager, Sherwyn Greaves, is the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA).

Greaves will be replacing Lelon Saul, whose contract with the Agency was terminated on August 25. According to a statement from MoHW, Greaves’ banking career spans over 27 years, during the course of which he has held key managerial positions throughout the country.
“The newly-appointed CEO brings with him a wealth of knowledge in the areas of effective leadership and communication, as he holds a Master in Business Administration from the Australia Institute of Business; a diploma in banking from the Associate Institute of Canadian Bankers, as well as a certificate in People and Team Management from the Canadian Securities Institute,” the MoHW said.

Greaves was a consultant for the current governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) while it was in opposition.
The statement went on to note that Greaves is also trained in the areas of Change Management, Security and Fraud Awareness, High-performance Management, and Business Continuity Planning among others.

“The Management and Staff look forward to working with Mr. Greaves, as he furthers the agenda of the agency,” the ministry said.
Greaves’ appointment comes just days after the ministry announced the appointment of Mr. Shaik Baksh as the Guyana Water Inc (GWI)’s new Chief Executive Officer.
