Cameroonian Ferdinand Ngon Kemoum appointed Oragroup’s new Managing Director

(Togo First) - Cameroonian Ferdinand Ngon Kemoum is Oragroup’s new Managing Director. Former deputy MD of the group between October 2009 and September 2015, he replaces Binta Touré Ndoye who resigned after steering the group’s wheel since 2016.

The Cameroonian will assume office next June 1. Until now, he was MD of Emerging Capital Partners (ECP) in Douala. ECP it should be emphasized holds a majority stake in Oragroup. Ngon was in charge of “identification, analysis and recommendations of investment as well as investment appraisal, management of transactions, portfolio and exits.”    

Before joining ECP, he was MD of Framlington Asset Management Central Africa. He however also held various positions at LOITA Capital Partners International, a specialized investment bank based in Johannesburg, at Amity Bank Cameroon, Banque Méridien Biao Cameroon, Meridien Bank Cameroon and Afriland First Bank.
