The board of International Energy Insurance (IEI) Plc has appointed Mrs. Roseline Ekeng as the new managing director/ chief executive officer of the company.
The appointment, which was made recently at the board’s meeting, was to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of the former managing director.
Prior to her appointment, Ekeng served as executive director/chief operating officer of the company from January 2010.
In May 2008 when IEI Plc incorporated a company in Ghana (International Energy Insurance Limited), Ekeng was appointed the pioneer managing director/chief executive officer of the company, a position she held before she was redeployed to the head office in Lagos as executive director.
With over 23 years experience of insurance practice, Ekeng has earned a reputation of an accomplished and respected professional.
The Chairman of the board, Sir Pat Sule Ugboma, said that Ekeng’s appointment was a demonstration of continuity, a process of building what will last, “she is a home grown, having started with the company over the years, and has remained consistently so.”
Ugboma noted that the new CEO was an epitome of the company’s core values (integrity, proficiency, innovativeness, friendliness and dependability).
“She has over the years proved to be very dependable, that is why she deserves to be where she is today. This indeed would serve as an inspiration to others who are following from behind”, he said.
Ekeng attended Webster University, St. Louis, U.S.A, where she obtained a first degree and an MBA in Business Administration. She also holds a post-graduate diploma in marine insurance from World Maritime University, Sweden.
She is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School.
On her return to Nigeria and after her Youth Service, she joined Nigeria Re-insurance Corporation in 1988, from where she joined IEI in 2003.
