Mark Ocitti P’Ongom has completed his three-year tenure as Managing Director of Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL).

Ocitti, who is credited for the improved business performance at the country’s leading premium adult beverage company, will now take on the role of Managing Director, Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL), Tanzania effective August 1, 2019.

He will be replaced by Alvin M. Mbugua – formerly UBL Finance and Strategy Director – effective July 11.

Ocitti now becomes the second Ugandan Managing Director within the Diageo family working on the African continent, outside their home market.

Under his stewardship, UBL has realized great milestones including, capacity expansion to increase production capacity, resounding business growth, impactful community projects in education, sanitation and alcohol in society and a spirited, empowered staff.

“Being a leader is knowing when to hand over the mantle. I’ve had great successes UBL now it is time to let someone else create new legacies. Today marks my last day as MD UBL . I leave to take a new and exciting opportunity as MD at SBL,” Ocitti said before handing over office to Mbugua.

At the same function, Japheth Katto, the UBL Board Chairman said Uganda was not a new market for Mbugua.

“His strategic leadership and focus should sustain the unprecedented growth achieved under Ocitti’s successful tenure,” Katto said.
