Bank Windhoek has appointed former Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) chief executive Nangula Uaandja as an independent non-executive director on its board.
In a statement issued on Monday, Bank Windhoek board chairperson Johan Swanepoel welcomes the appointment, saying Uaandja’s depth of experience will add meaningful value to Bank Windhoek’s governance, oversight and the bank’s long-term strategic direction.
“We are pleased to welcome Nangula Uaandja to the Bank Windhoek board,” the statement says.
According to the statement, Uaandja holds a bachelor of accounting science degree and a master’s degree in business leadership.
She spent over 20 years at PwC Namibia, where she rose through the ranks from trainee accountant to managing partner and country senior partner.
She later became the chief executive of the NIPDB, where she led efforts to position Namibia as an attractive destination for local and foreign investment while strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors.
