He emphasizes a forward-thinking approach, saying, “Our new strategic plan will require us to be both robust and innovative, with a focus on our employees. By the end of five years, I want us to reflect and say we achieved our goals. It might not be an easy journey, but with the right resources—both financial and human—we can certainly make it happen.”
Before joining NAC, Kalili held influential positions at the Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority, FirstRand Namibia Holdings, the Namibian Agronomic Board, and the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation. His diverse experience in the financial and agricultural sectors equips him with a comprehensive understanding of the various challenges and opportunities that NAC may face.
