Felix Okoboi, the new wunderkind in Uganda’s corporate corridors of power He may not yet be a Martin Aliker, James Mulwana and Elly Karuhanga who dominated Uganda’s board rooms in the 2000s through to the 2020s, and had ‘keys’ to most doors of power in government and the private sector but the meritocratic rise of Felix Okoboi is unmissable. The engineer/architect who turned into a Wharton-trained corporate finance guru, has over the last three years, gained ground in boardrooms of some of the region’s finest companies; a telltale sign of where his corporate star may be headed.
