FSD UgandaFSD Uganda Appoints Zerubabel Kwebiiha Junior as Chief Executive Officer
The Board of Directors of Financial Sector Deepening Uganda (FSD Uganda) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Zerubabel Kwebiiha Junior as Chief Executive Officer, effective August 3, 2026.
Zerubabel Junior is a visionary leader and institution builder with over 17 years of experience at the intersection of financial inclusion, digital innovation and private sector development across Africa. He has built and led organisations from the ground up, driven policy change at a national level and delivered commercial results at scale across some of the continent’s most complex markets.
He is the Co-founder of Reclaim Investments, a circular economy enterprise he built from scratch that is transforming livelihoods for waste pickers in Uganda, a reflection of his passion for building businesses that create lasting impact. As Global Head of Commercial at ENGIE Energy Access, he led commercial strategy across nine African countries, and as Country Director in Mozambique, he led the company to become the country’s leading solar home systems provider. At the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) in Zambia, he was part of the team that helped increase formal financial inclusion from 4% to over 43% of the adult population—one of Africa’s most significant advances in financial inclusion. Earlier in his career, he served as Chief Executive Officer of EzeeMoney and was part of the team that rolled out and scaled MTN Mobile Money in Uganda.
Most recently, Zerubabel Junior worked with FSD Uganda supporting the Digital Economy pillar, giving him a deep understanding of the organisation, its programmes and the ecosystem it serves. He also brings governance experience through his role as a Non-Executive Director at Ecobank Uganda and other institutions.
As FSD Uganda continues to strengthen inclusive financial markets, generate evidence, influence policy and catalyse market development, Zerubabel Junior’s experience in building institutions, forging partnerships and driving innovation will help advance the organisation’s mission and long-term sustainability.
He believes that financial markets, when designed well, can be one of the most powerful forces for human dignity and economic transformation. That conviction, combined with his track record of building institutions that last, makes him the right leader for FSD Uganda at this defining moment.
We are delighted to welcome Zerubabel Junior to FSD Uganda and look forward to what we will accomplish together.
