She then served as Branch Manager, Basseterre, for six years before opting to return to her native Dominica.  She spent the last year coaching businesses in customer service and anti-money laundering. Mrs. Severin-Lestrade holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from University of Liverpool and a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing.  She is a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS), and Chartered Director.

“I appreciate the Board’s confidence in me and am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the organization. The Bank has proven its strength and resilience over the years, and I am confident that we can continue to build on its success and provide our customers with the outstanding customer service and support they deserve,” Mrs. Severin-Lestrade remarked.

Mrs. Linda Toussaint-Peter has a twenty-year successful track record of accomplishment at NBD.   She has held several management positions, including Chief Financial Officer and Executive Manager of Credit and Business Development.  Mrs. Toussaint-Peter is a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA) and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from the University of the West Indies.  She is also an Accredited Director.
