ZAMBEEF APPOINTS MBOO MUMBA AS NEW CFO

LUSAKA, ZAMBIA – Zambeef Products Plc has named Mboo Mumba as its new Chief Financial Officer with effect from December 1, 2022. He takes up the role of CFO following the appointment of Faith Mukutu – who previously served in the position- as Chief Executive Officer in July 2022.

Mr Mumba joined Zambeef Group in May 2020 as Project Manager before taking up the role of Group Head of Treasury and Administration.
Zambeef Board Chair Michael Mundashi said: “We are very pleased that Mboo has accepted the position of new Chief Financial Officer of Zambeef. When joining Zambeef, Mr Mumba brought with him impeccable skills, combining industry, financial and banking experience of more than 16 years, which have been instrumental to the management of the company’s operations and overall growth as a world-class cold chain food provider. He has a broad and quite unique experience which we believe will be very valuable for our company.”
An ACCA professional who holds a Bachelor of Accounting degree, Mr Mumba’s career portfolio includes a previous role as CFO of the Wildlife Conservation Society of Zambia before joining Standard Chartered Bank Zambia, where he served as a director in corporate banking.
“I am very excited about leading such a competent and capable team. Zambeef has grown steadily over the years to become the nation’s largest integrated cold chain food products and agribusiness company and one of the largest in the Southern African region. I am looking forward to developing the company further with a clear goal to continue feeding the nation for many more generations,” said Mr Mumba.
