Hidden behind $4 billion worth of share equity, the Capital and Credit Merchant Bank holds a real story of change.

Black Jamaicans have only just begun to be a part of the ownership class in their own country and one of the men who heralded that change, and more than that, orchestrated it, was Ryland Campbell.

Garnering a banking licence in 1994, an impossible feat until the collapse of the financial sector in the '90s, the man, a former school teacher and bank manager, took Capital and Credit from being worth $20 million to what it is today.

For being not just an entrepreneur, but one of those men of colour who opened the door for others of his kind, Ryland Campbell is this week's changemaker.

Almost as a tribute to his achievements, the bank owner's powerful image is aptly found in Peter Ferguson's book, also appropriately titled, 'Changemakers'.
