Tavona Biza recently became the top leader at Old Mutual Malawi, taking over from Edith Jiya, who ran the company for nine years. Jiya left for South Africa last November, where she leads the Retail Mass Market division of Old Mutual's Mass and Foundation group. Biza met with staff and stakeholders on Wednesday during a ceremony in Blantyre, where he talked about his plans for the company's growth and future direction.
Biza promised customers they could expect fresh financial products and creative solutions over the next few years. He stated that Old Mutual plans to keep its position as Malawi's number one financial services provider. The new CEO highlighted plans to boost Malawi by investing in better infrastructure, farming projects, and clean energy sources throughout the country.
Biza stressed that his main goal is to speed up business growth beyond previous rates. Before leaving, Jiya thanked everyone who supported her leadership journey. She expressed pride in what the team accomplished together and showed confidence that Old Mutual Malawi will continue to succeed under new leadership.
Biza brings strong experience from his twelve-plus years working at different levels within Old Mutual. He studied at top schools, earning an accounting degree from the National University of Science and Technology in Zimbabwe, and later completed his MBA at the University of Cape Town. These qualifications add to his practical business knowledge.
