The Agricultural Bank of Namibia (Agribank) has appointed Robert Eiman as Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 July 2026.
He replaces Dr Raphael Karuaihe, who retired on 31 March 2026. Chief Financial Officer Abel Akayombokwa will serve as Acting CEO until 30 June.
Eiman joins from Nampost Financial Brokers (POSTFIN), where he was CEO. He has previously held senior roles at the Development Bank of Namibia and First National Bank of Namibia.
He brings experience across microfinance, commercial and corporate banking, and development finance, including deal structuring, strategy execution and credit risk management. He holds an MBA from Maastricht University School of Business and Economics.
The Board said his appointment comes as Agribank embarks on an organisational transformation to address climate change pressures, low agricultural productivity and fragmented value chains, while maintaining financial sustainability.
Eiman said he will build on the work of his predecessors and focus on long-term growth in the agricultural sector.
