One if the oldest companies in Namibia, the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, has announced a new chapter in its Vision 2029 journey. O&L Group is implementing significant changes aimed at revitalising its core foundation. At the heart of this transformation is the formation of the new group executive committee (exco), consolidating the roles of the Executive Chairman and CEO into one leadership entity. 

This strategic move is designed to enhance alignment, clarity and efficiency in decision-making processes, while staying true to O&L’s core values. 

The exco will comprise executive chairman Sven Thieme; chief operations officer Wynand Oosthuizen; chief financial officer, Theresa Weitz; chief human capital officer Terence Makari; and, the newly appointed chief experience officer Franziska Rueeck. Together, this team will steer O&L Group towards 2029 and pursuing a collective dream. “I am excited to lead the O&L Group into this transformative phase,” remarked Thieme. “Our Vision 2029 journey signifies a commitment to revitalising our organisation, and embracing change with optimism and determination.”
