Wednesday, May 10, 2017
Pule has been the acting CEO of the CA ever since the founding CEO, Thula Kaira left in April 2016. She is a Bachelor of Commerce Graduate from the University of Botswana and is also a Fellow of the Botswana Institute of Chartered Accountants (BICA) and an Associate member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) (UK). Pule holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Derby, UK.
The new CEO is an experienced administrator having cut her teeth at the then Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) which she joined as a graduate trainee and rose through the ranks up to the position of General Manager (Finance). While at BTC she was responsible for Treasury, Credit Control, Revenue Assurance, Cash Management, Budget and Budgetary control, Fixed Assets, Management and Statutory Accounts Reporting, Procurement and Costing. Her desire for professional growth saw her join Bokamoso Private Hospital Trust after she left BTC. At Bokamoso her portfolio covered Finance, Front Office and Records.
