Ethiopia’s marketing professionals elect a new executive board

“Our newly expanded leadership team reflects our ambition to do more, reach further and build a truly connected marketing community across Ethiopia,” the association says in a statement. 

“EMPA’s new board brings together voices from every cornet of Ethiopia’s marketing landscape – spanning banking, FMCG, academia, consulting, media and social enterprise – reflecting the diversity, talent and ambition that define our profession. 

“Now the future of marketing in Ethiopia isn’t just bold, it’s brave.” 

Outgoing board laid the foundation 

In a social media post published on LinkedIn, Abay extends thanks to the leadership team that laid the foundation for the formation of the EMPA.  

“Thank you for opening both your hearts and hands for the association and showing what true service looks like,” she writes. 

“And to the new EMPA Executive Board, thank you for stepping up to serve. I hope together we’ll continue to grow, connect and strengthen Ethiopia’s marketing community, one bold step at a time.”
