As East Africa rapidly embraces digital transformation, the region is increasingly becoming a target for sophisticated cybercriminal networks. In particular, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda face growing cyber threats as businesses, government agencies, and service providers expand their digital footprints. This surge in digital adoption, while fueling innovation and economic growth, also expands the attack surface, exposing critical systems, applications, and data to serious risks.

Recently, I had a rare opportunity to engage with Church leaders from across the country at Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) during an on-campus leadership training. It was a room full of priests, nuns, and lay leaders, men and women deeply committed to mission, but also going through modern leadership challenges that Sunday sermons do not quite prepare one for.

My response from my experience with public and private boards is not related in…

Sales had dropped for the third consecutive quarter. Staff morale was at its lowest. The board was growing impatient. “But we promoted the most experienced person,” he kept insisting. I asked who. He said, proudly, “He’s been with us 18 years, he knows the company inside out.” And there it was, the real problem, not the market, not the product, not even the competition, but the real issue was leadership appointments based on time…
