The Namibia Institute of Corporate Governance (NICG) has announced the appointment of Desmond Nikanor as its new chairperson, effective from 5 December 2024.
Nikanor takes over from Steve Galloway, who will remain on the board as a non-executive director.
Nikanor is a seasoned expert in governance and has pledged to uphold the institute’s mission to enhance corporate governance standards across Namibia.
He highlights the growing importance of ethical leadership in steering both public and private institutions through times of change.
“Good governance is now more critical than ever for the success of our society and economy,” Nikanor says.
“Whether in businesses, public organisations, churches or schools, ethical leadership is essential to ensure positive outcomes for all stakeholders,” he says.
Joining Nikanor in leadership is Erenstine Tuneeko, who has been appointed as deputy chairperson.
The NICG board now comprises Edla Kaumbi (executive director), Andreas Salom, Frans Kalenga, Joelynn Kurz, Karin Coetzee, Martha Uumati, and Marvin Amuenje all serving as non-executive directors.
Looking ahead to 2025, the NICG is set to launch key initiatives aimed at bolstering governance practices nationwide.
