Guinness Ghana, a Diageo PLC Group company has appointed Helene Weesie as its new Managing Director (MD) with immediate effect.
Helene joins Guinness Ghana with a wealth of international experience within Diageo globally and within the fast-moving consumer goods sector.
Her knowledge and expertise cut across sales, marketing and general management; having held a number of roles both within Diageo and outside with peer companies in our sector.
Until recently, Helene was the Managing Director of Diageo’s Central Europe Cluster of countries and prior to that she led Serengeti Breweries, Diageo’s Tanzanian brewer.
Her time in Tanzania saw the Serengeti brand move to its current market-leading position in a highly competitive environment. It was also characterized by a significant business turnaround.
