SEEKING AN AMBITIOUS CEO WITH AN OUTSTANDING COMMERCIAL CAREER FOR A NEW ORGANISATION LOOKING TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AFRICA.
THE ORGANISATION:
Msingi is a highly ambitious and innovative new industry development organisation that will support East Africa’s economic transformation. Msingi will identify industries with high potential for growth, design strategies to develop them, and catalyse their growth by supporting pioneering businesses – including through investment – while working to address industry-wide bottlenecks. Msingi will become an independent, East African-led organisation and a world leader in industry development.
This bold initiative is based on an assessment of East African economic development, international learning and engagement with business leaders in East Africa.
Msingi will have a minimum of $100m over 10 years as seed capital, with the first 5 years’ funding already committed by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).
THE POSITION:
Msingi requires an exceptional management team headed by an outstanding CEO to deliver this mission. As the organisation is new, the CEO will have the opportunity to shape its future – creating an organisation with strong commercial capabilities that is able to engage strategically on East Africa’s long-term economic development. Suitable candidates will have outstanding commercial experience and acumen either in industry or investment -related fields, be at home with complexity and ambiguity and be able to build a world-class organisation to drive industry development in the region.
