Momentum Metropolitan Namibia appoints Evangelina Nailenge as executive of retail distribution

Momentum Metropolitan Namibia has appointed Evangelina Nailenge as executive of retail distribution.

The company says Nailenge will lead the development and execution of distribution strategies aimed at placing clients at the centre of its operations, while expanding access to financial solutions through a strengthened network of advisers and brokers.

The appointment comes as the group seeks to enhance client experience and improve financial outcomes for customers across Namibia.
Nailenge brings more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector, including over a decade in executive leadership roles.

She previously served as managing director of Momentum Investments Namibia, where she oversaw asset management, wealth and collective investment schemes.

During her tenure, she implemented a turnaround strategy that resulted in growth in assets under management and administration, alongside improvements in client retention, service delivery and profitability.

She has also served as a non-executive director on several public and private sector boards, providing oversight on governance, strategy and stakeholder engagement.

Nailenge holds a master of commerce degree with distinction, and an honours degree in commerce, both specialising in money and banking, as well as an undergraduate degree in economics. She has also completed various leadership development programmes.

Momentum Metropolitan Namibia Group chief executive Sakaria Nghikembua said Nailenge’s appointment reflects the company’s focus on strengthening its client-centred distribution model.

“Evangelina brings extensive leadership experience and a deep understanding of the Namibian market. At the core of our strategy is the belief that every Namibian should have access to quality financial solutions that protect and grow their assets,” Nghikembua said.

He added that her leadership would support efforts to improve service delivery while driving business growth.

Nailenge said she was committed to building a distribution model that strengthens trust and broadens access to financial services.

“Namibians work hard for their financial futures and deserve solutions that meet both their current and long-term needs. I look forward to working with our teams and partners to expand access to sustainable financial solutions for individuals and their families,” she said.
