    On May 24th, 2025<\/strong>, Strathmore Global Institute (SGI) Uganda hosted an exclusive CEO Connect Dinner<\/em> at the Kampala Serena Hotel. The event brought together top executives from Uganda\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n

    The evening was a celebration of leadership, legacy, and learning. It offered a rich platform for meaningful networking and engagement, with many CEOs fondly recalling their formative experiences in various Executive Education Programmes at Strathmore University\u2014Programmes that played a pivotal role in shaping their leadership journeys and professional milestones.<\/p>\n

    The highlight of the evening was a thought-provoking keynote address by Dr. Caesar J. Muriithi Mwangi<\/strong>, Executive Dean of Strathmore University Business School. Speaking on \u201cReflections on Leadership,\u201d<\/em> Dr. Mwangi challenged the captains of industry to play a greater role in steering Africa\u2019s development through ethical, transformative, and values-based leadership.<\/p>\n

    The event attracted distinguished leaders across sectors, including financial services (DFCU Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, NCBA Bank, Housing Finance Bank, Ecobank, aBi Finance, Uganda Bankers Association), Insurance (Olea Brokerage and East Africa Insurance Brokers Association), Mining (Uganda Mining National Company), and Oil & Gas (Stabex International). The CEOs were joined by esteemed members of the Board and staff of SGI Uganda, including Dr. George Njenga<\/strong>, Founding Dean, Strathmore University Business School, Prof. Izael Da Silva<\/strong>, Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation, Eng. Dr. Julius Butime<\/strong>, Dean, School of Computing and Engineering,\u00a0 Anthony Kahindi<\/strong>, University Secretary, Kellen Kariuki<\/strong>, Associate Dean, Executive Education, Anita Asiimwe, Country Director, SGI Uganda, Francis Thenge, and Kevin Rwanyarare, Business Development Managers, SGI Uganda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

    A memorable toast was led by Mona Ssebuliba (aBi Finance)<\/strong>, who shared her journey through Strathmore\u2019s programmes and paid tribute to the institution\u2019s leadership, from the founding Dean to the current Dean, for their unwavering commitment to excellence and contribution to leadership development over the past two decades.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that Strathmore\u2019s impact continues to resonate strongly across the region. The CEO Connect Dinner reaffirmed the institution\u2019s role as a catalyst for ethical leadership and a hub for lifelong executive learning in Africa.<\/p>\n
