The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) has announced the appointment of Namene Kalili as its new Commercial Services and Strategy Executive, effective 1 April 2025.
Kalili will be based at the organisation’s head office in Windhoek.
With over two decades of experience across Namibia’s public and private sectors, Kalili will be tasked with spearheading revenue growth through enhanced commercial services and leading the development and implementation of NAC’s new five-year Integrated Strategic Business Plan (ISBP).
Chief Executive Officer of NAC, Bisey /Uirab, welcomed Kalili’s appointment, stating: “We are excited to welcome Mr Kalili on board. His broad knowledge of the Namibian economy and his energy will complement the great strides that NAC has made over the years to position our flagship airport, the Hosea Kutako International Airport, as an important connecting hub within the SADC Region.”
Kalili, who holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, expressed readiness for the role and confidence in the NAC’s potential.
“I come here fully motivated to contribute to the success of the team. NAC is an organisation with so much potential and can contribute so much to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country. For me, it is to make sure we have plans that resonate with the situation of the organisation and Namibia,” he said.
Outlining his strategic vision, Kalili added: “With our new strategic plan, we will have to be robust and innovative and employee-centric to ensure that we get the best of our people and after five years look back and say, we did it. It will not be smooth sailing, but with the right resources, capital, and human, we can achieve together.”
Kalili brings a wealth of expertise to NAC, having previously served as a Director at the Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA).
His career includes roles at FirstRand Namibia Holdings, the Namibian Agronomic Board, the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation, and the Road Fund Administration.
