About Mrs. Patricia Ithau

I am a true believer in my continent Africa, and need to build on our human capital so to market ourselves in order to transform our fortunes on the global stage. Passionate and drawing inspiration from making a difference in everything I do, I believe I have the opportunity to build role models in the corporate and entrepreneurial world, serving as a catalyst and connecting resources to help enterprise overcome adversity and seize opportunities to realize their full potential.
That belief is underpinned by my love for identifying enduring consumer and commercial insights to support the development of brands and grow businesses, that actualized in a career spanning 25 years across 3 global companies, Unilever, Diageo/EABL and L’Oreal. In the last 8 years of that career my focus was on setting up new organizations and opening new frontiers as Managing Director Uganda Breweries Ltd, Managing Director EABL International and my last role in the FMCG sector, setting up L’Oreal East Africa Ltd, a subsidiary of the Global multinational as its inaugural Managing Director. This was indeed a crowning glory having in a little over 3 years grown a business with $25million revenue, employing over 270 people, manufacturing 40 million units p.a. and closing one of the first of its kind acquisitions of a local business, in this market.
I pivoted my passion to drive scaling and transformation of SME’s the largest job creation sector in all emerging economies. I make this a reality as the Regional Director for the Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies - Seed, an initiative out of the Graduate School of Business, that supports transformation of SME’s in the East and Southern Africa region, through a year-long program. The program in the last 5 years has supported scaling of over 200 small to mid-size companies, demonstrating real impact through the age old idiom ‘teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’.
I currently sit on the Boards of; ABSA Bank Kenya Ltd; the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Jambojet Ltd and Vivo ActiveWear Ltd, all of which lean on my expertise growing enterprise. I build on the positive impact of development funding, as a board member of Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA), the multi donor initiative with the overall goal of reducing poverty in the East African region through reduction of trade barriers and increased trade competitiveness of the region; and bring to life my enduring desire to connect corporate business with social sustainability investment, as a Trustee on the Board of the Vodafone Foundation, UK.
