East African Breweries Limited (EABL) has appointed a former BAT executive to head its corporate relations department, filling the position which has remained vacant since March.
The regional brewer has appointed Julie Adell-Owino, a
former head of corporate and regulatory affairs at BAT, to the position
that was held by Brenda Mbathi who moved to General Electric.
“Julie was appointed group corporate relations director, EABL in June 2015,” the brewer says on its website.
“She is an experienced corporate affairs, policy
and regulation specialist with over 24 years experience in both the
private and public sectors.”
Ms Adell left BAT in September 2012 and became the
managing director of Jumon Africa Business Solution —a management
consulting company that she co-owns with her husband.
The trained lawyer has also previously worked at
Kenya Wildlife Service, consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and the
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
EABL posted an 11 per cent net profit growth in the half-year ended December to Sh4.6 billion as sales rose faster than costs.
The brewer’s turnover increased 9.1 per cent to
Sh34.7 billion, driven by fast growth of the flagship Tusker brand. Its
Tanzania’s sales jumped 17 per cent while international exports more
than doubled.
