Savannah Cement appoints first CEO

By Standard Reporter

Kenya: Savannah Cement has appointed Ronald Ndegwa as its first chief executive officer.

Commissioned in July last year, as Kenya’s sixth cement manufacturer, Savannah Cement has been operating without a substantive chief executive whilst undertaking an extensive head hunt for a preferred business leader.

Speaking when he confirmed the new developments at the Sh8 billion manufacturing facility, Board Chairman, Benson Ndeta said Ndegwa, who previously served as the Director of Supply Chain at Tata Chemicals Magadi, has joined the firm to spearhead the business development agenda.

Ndegwa is a civil engineering graduate from the University of Nairobi and South Africa’s Damelin Management School.
