The company, according to a statement, first entered Kenya in 2011 and has since expanded its reach outside East Africa and is now targeting Nigeria and other West African countries.

Nwanze, according to the statement, brings over 20 years’ experience in commercial markets, primarily the pharmaceutical space.

Chief Executive Officer of the company, Simon Bransfield-Garth, said: “I am delighted that Vera will be joining Azuri as general manager of Nigeria and Ghana.

“Vera has a tremendously impressive track record in West Africa and we wish her every success in this new and important role.”
