Former Nairobi Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe is among six new Managing Directors appointed by the South African-based company Tiger Brands.

The company, in a statement on Thursday, said Igathe was picked to head the International Brands Unit, in a move meant to drive the business forward.

“We are pleased to announce the internal appointment of six managing directors who will be leading our newly organised business units, following a review of our operating model and structure to enable consumer obsession, agile execution, and innovation,” read the statement.

The other MDs who were selected include Quinton Swart to head the Bakeries unit, Dumo Mfini (Culinary), Grant Pereira (Snacks, Treats and Beverages), Liezel Holmes (Grains) and Ismail Nanabhay (Home, Personal Care and Baby).

The food and beverage company which boasts of success across the African continent has establishments in 25 countries with five priority markets in Cameroon, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Nigeria.

Igathe, who was the Tiger Brands Regional Managing Director for East Africa business between 2008 and 2013 before leaving, rejoined the company in November 2023 when he was appointed Chief Growth Officer.
