This is the scale of the financial juggernaut that Risper Ohaga runs. The EABL is quoted on all three East African stock exchanges and has operations with a turnover of more than $1 billion, making it the third largest company on the Nairobi Securities Exchange by market capitalisation. It is one of the largest business units in Diageo Africa and directly operates five breweries, and two distilleries as well as barley and malting facilities.

It’s currently ranked among the top 50 in Africa in terms of market capitalisation. On top of helping develop and deliver strategy, Ms Ohaga offers leadership in finance, taxation, financials, treasury and risk management, and business performance.
