Effective May 5, Tito Okuku has been appointed Managing Director for Eastern Africa at A.P. Moller – Maersk.
Okuku brings over 25 years of leadership experience in logistics and supply chain, having led teams and operations across multiple African markets.
With an extensive background in strategy, business development, warehousing, landside operations, and fleet management, Tito Okuku will now have to lead Maersk’s Eastern Africa business into its next growth phase. In his position, he will be responsible for the commercial business in countries such as Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, among several others in the Eastern Africa region.
Tito Okuku is familiar with the Maersk ecosystem, having previously served as Managing Director of APM Terminals Kenya (Great Lakes Ports) in 2014.
“I am honoured to rejoin Maersk and take on this important responsibility,” stated Okuku. “I look forward to working closely with our teams and customers to deliver resilient, agile, and customer-focused supply chain solutions that enable trade and create shared growth.”
Okuku’s experience, hands-on knowledge of the region and passion for developing people make him the right leader to drive sustainable growth, according to Richard Morgan, Managing Director for Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, and Africa at Maersk.
“We are confident that Maersk will deepen its presence and partnerships in Eastern Africa under his leadership,” said Morgan.
