VISION Group’s chief executive, Robert Kabushenga, is among the 24 top managers in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.
The managers are under the 2008 Africa Leadership Initiative (ALI) fellows.
Ali Mufuruki, the chairman of Tanzania-based ALI East Africa Foundation, said due to leadership challenges worldwide, the launch of the group was timely.
“The fellows represented their collective hope for a better future where community sense, ethics and values will play a central role in the executive decisions of those in whom we vest the power to lead, be it in business, politics or civil society,†he said in a statement issued recently.
Other fellows in Uganda include; Oscar Semweya, the administrator of Taibah Schools, Nora Owaraga, the chief executive officer of Executive Support Services, Ssebbale Kato, a laparascopic surgeon and entrepreneur of Case Medical Centre and Maria Odido Di Fozo, the managing director of Bee Natural Products factory.
The ALI fellowship is designed to capture the energy, talent and resolve of an emerging generation of leaders in Africa and inspire them to move from success to significance by engaging in the foremost challenges of their countries and their times.
“It brings together entrepreneurial executives and professionals under the age of 55 who have already achieved conspicuous success in their fields. The new ALI fellows in East Africa will meet four times over a two-year period and will undertake individual community service commitments,†the statement adds.
The ALI fellowship is part of the Aspen Global Leadership Network, which comprises over 700 fellows from 36 countries.
