ABOUT CEO SUMMIT UGANDA

Who We Are

The CEO Summit is where growth-oriented Corporate challenge, catalyze and champion transformation. This is a platform for unparalleled gathering of the most influential regional CEOs, bankers and investors since 2008.

It has established itself as a unique platform dedicated to champion the African three-legged stool – the public, private and civil society in Uganda and the region, as well as corporate strategy in the African context, and takes place in a high-quality setting, conducive to doing business.

Our History

Founded in 2008, the CEO Summit was the brainchild of Peter Kimbowa (PK) of IFE Consultants, a multidisciplinary consultancy firm and think-tank that is an East African leader in Organizational Leadership & Practice, and a confidant to the leadership teams of the country’s most prominent institution.

PK founded the CEO Summit Secretariat in the midst of the global financial crisis, alongside a group of like-minded trustees, as an independent think-tank to initiate the premier business forum for chief executives in the country to bring the best ideas for economic growth and transformation to the fore.

Our Purpose

The focus of the CEO Summit Secretariat was to provide a policy space and dialogue opportunity for business leaders to collaboratively exchange ideas on surviving and improving the troubling economic environment at the time, and to create an ongoing culture of coming together to harness their collective brain power and experience for a deeper, stronger private sector in Uganda.

The Summit since has birthed 6 flagship innovations to effectively address the issues arising from the Annual CEO Forums.

Our Vision

A place to learn how to make the world a better place.
