Meet our new CEO
24 June 2010
We are sad to announce that after five-and-a-half years Susanne Niedrum will be stepping down as Build Africa's Chief Executive at the beginning of July. Her contribution to the continued success of Build Africa has been immeasurable: she leaves an organisation that is stronger, more focussed and growing every year.
But with this news comes a silver lining: the appointment of our current Director of Fundraising and Communications, Oliver Kemp, as Susanne's successor. With ten years' experience in international development, Oliver's appointment has been a popular one across the organisation. We are confident that he will carry Build Africa further towards the goal of becoming a leading charity for young people in Africa.
We interviewed Susanne and Oliver for our summer edition of Habari. Click on the link below to read about their involvement with the organisation, their views on its challenges and achievements, as well as their visions for the future.
