Telecom major Bharti Airtel has appointed Charity Chanda Lumpa
as Managing Director (MD) of Airtel's operation in Zambia with effect from May 1, 2013.
Prior to her current appointment, Lumpa was the Managing Director of Ecobank in Zambia. Before joining the banking industry, she was the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Zambia National Tourist Board (ZNTB).
"She has an exceptional track record of accomplishments at top management level in private, public and international organisations and I am confident that with her rich experience she will grow the organisation from strength to strength," Chairman of
Airtel's operation in Zambia, George Sokota, said in a statement.
Lumpa, a Zambian national, holds an MBA in Finance. She is back in her home country after a six-month stint in Lome, Togo, where she was the Head of Ecobank Group Credit Administration.
"Our recent appointment of a Nigerian CEO and MD for Nigeria and the appointment of a first lady Zambian MD for our Zambia business are key milestones alongside our
people agenda for Africa," Airtel Africa's Chief Human Resources Officer, David Ssegawa, said.
