Patrick Hylton was appointed the Group Managing Director of National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited (NCB), on December 1, 2004 and has led the organization to achieve record growth in profitability ever since.
Mr. Hylton had joined the island’s largest commercial bank as Deputy Group Managing Director just two short years prior and set about skillfully managing the Bank’s investment and insurance subsidiaries.
His ascent to national and international prominence began some years earlier when he was appointed a leading role by the Government in the rehabilitation of the Jamaican financial sector during the mid-1990s. His successful completion of that undertaking culminated in the national award of the Order of Distinction, Commander Class, being bestowed on him by the Prime Minister and Governor General of Jamaica in 2002.
Complementing his strategic business acumen and an empathetic but firm leadership style, are his academic achievements as an Honours Graduate in Business Administration and as an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (ACIB) London. He is a Past President of the Jamaica Bankers Association and in addition to being a Director of NCB, Mr. Hylton sits on the oversight committee appointed to monitor the implementation of Jamaica's programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He also sits on several boards including the Caribbean Information and Credit Rating Services (CariCRIS).
