Mount Elgon Orchards Ltd

• 1 - 100 Employee

• Financial Controller

  • Apr 2016 - Aug 2021

  This position presented many challenges and opportunities. With over 40 hectares of greenhouses, 1400 employees and exporting more than 72 million flowers per year to Europe and Western Asia, I brought stability and consistency to the finance department by working together well with our multicultural team. In line with my responsibilities in Kenya, I also coordinated with the sister company in Holland to ensure that all sales were well monitored and I assisted in implementing new software to increase our control of the full supply chain. I was at the head of all financial and management reporting to the board of directors and attended all board meetings. This has given me a direct insight into the strategic thinking behind international business. I ended my incredible journey with Mount Elgon Orchards by pivoting into a more business development and sales-minded role for Elgon Avocados, bringing the brand into Europe and Asia. This activity was extremely rewarding and where I found my true passion in business development. Show less
