At the start of a new year, it is traditional to reflect on our own futures. How do we feel about our careers and ambitions? Are we living our best lives? Is it time to work on ourselves? This month we have guidance on how to work with a coach and how to make a good impression at interview, both of which could set you off to a flying start in 2024. If it’s a new direction you’re after, we speak to three senior members in Africa about the satisfactions of a career in public sector finance.
One member enjoying a fulfilling career is our interviewee this month, Andrew Ssekamwa FCCA. With two CFO roles under his belt by the age of 35, he is now in the top finance role at Uganda Airlines, the renascent national carrier, where he faced a true baptism of fire. Find out more.
We also have an article on the potential bonanza that is Africa’s mineral wealth. With global demand for strategic resources such as lithium, cobalt and graphite set to soar as the world transitions to a zero-carbon economy, the continent has a golden opportunity to supercharge its economic development – but only if only it can attract investment. Read our article.
Meanwhile, this year also sees the Olympic and Paralympic Games land in Paris. Find out how the Big Four are involved in helping the events run smoothly.
Finally, if your resolution is to be better informed, not only is AB here to help, but our weekly bulletin AB Direct provides headlines from media stories of relevance to finance professionals around the world, as well as highlights of recently published AB features. Find out more.
