Bamburi Cement Plc has named Geoffrey Ndugwa as CEO effective April 1, 2026, succeeding Mohit Kapoor at the end of his assignment.
Bamburi Cement Plc has appointed Mr. Geoffrey Ndugwa as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 April 2026. He will succeed Mr. Mohit Kapoor, who is concluding his assignment in the country.
The company’s board announced the leadership change as part of its executive transition plans. Ndugwa is a long-serving executive within the Holcim Group, with more than 20 years of leadership experience across sub-Saharan Africa.
Kapoor is set to hand over after what the company described as a successful assignment. The board did not detail the transition process beyond the effective date, but the timing signals a planned handover rather than an immediate change.
Cement makers in East Africa are operating in a price-sensitive market shaped by construction demand, energy costs, and competition from imports and regional producers. A CEO change can influence priorities around cost control, distribution, and investment plans.
Ndugwa’s background within Holcim may point to continuity in group-level strategy, governance, and operational standards. For customers and partners, the appointment provides clarity on leadership ahead of 2026 and sets expectations for a structured transition at Bamburi Cement.
