PanAfrican Capital Holdings Limited (PAC Holdings), a leading African investment and financial services company, has elevated one of its top executives to a key leadership position. Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Nentok Gomwalk has been appointed Group Executive Director (GED), marking a significant step in the company’s ongoing strategy to reinforce leadership continuity and deepen its operational excellence.
The announcement was made through an official company statement released earlier this week. Before this promotion, Gomwalk served as Group Head of Finance, Investment and Strategy where he played a central role in driving financial discipline, shaping investment direction, and steering strategy execution across the group’s extensive portfolio.
In the statement, PAC Holdings highlighted that Gomwalk’s promotion recognizes his leadership qualities, strategic foresight, and valuable contributions to the company’s growth trajectory and performance since joining the group. “Mr. Gomwalk’s appointment reflects his outstanding leadership, strategic insight, and significant contributions to the Group’s growth and performance since joining the organisation,” the company said.
In his capacity as Group Head of Finance, Investment and Strategy, Gomwalk was instrumental in strengthening PAC Holdings’ financial frameworks, enhancing its investment approach, and ensuring the focused execution of key strategic objectives. His influence was seen in improved corporate governance and in fortifying the company’s readiness to pursue opportunities on the continent and beyond.
The board and senior leadership of PAC Holdings expressed confidence in Gomwalk’s ability to drive value and support long-term growth in his new role. Chairman Mr. Dolapo Atekoja said the board believes Gomwalk’s deep experience, strategic depth, and consistent delivery of value make him the right choice for the expanded leadership position. “His contributions to strengthening our financial governance and investment strategy have been significant, and we are confident that his elevation will further support the long-term growth, resilience, and sustainability of PanAfrican Capital Holdings,” Atekoja stated.
Echoing this endorsement, Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Chris Oshiafi celebrated Gomwalk’s promotion as a well-deserved advancement. “Nentok’s promotion is well deserved and speaks to his exceptional performance, discipline, and alignment with the Group’s vision,” Oshiafi said. “He has played a critical role in advancing our strategic objectives and embedding financial and operational rigor across the organisation. As Group Executive Director, we are confident that he will continue to provide strong leadership and deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders.”
The appointment also underscores PAC Holdings’ commitment to strong corporate governance and a leadership succession plan that prioritizes internal talent development. By promoting leaders with deep institutional knowledge, the company aims to maintain continuity in management and strategic execution, which are crucial in the dynamic environment of Africa’s financial and investment sectors.
Founded with a mission to provide strategic investment services across a range of sectors, PAC Holdings has established itself as a key player in financial advisory, capital raising, and investment management across Africa. Its subsidiary, PAC Capital Limited, has been involved in major financial transactions, including acting as lead financial adviser and fund arranger for large investment facilities, such as the US$300 million investment finance facility for Access Holdings Plc.
The company’s strategic focus extends to sectors including financial services, energy, telecommunications, and hospitality, areas critical to economic growth and development in Africa. This diversified approach not only supports the company’s revenue streams but also aligns with broader economic priorities such as infrastructure development and financial inclusion across the continent.
From an economic perspective, executive appointments like this are significant. Senior leadership stability at investment firms like PAC Holdings helps strengthen investor confidence, supports long-term capital flows, and enhances the company’s ability to participate in major financial projects that contribute to economic expansion. Effective leadership also plays a role in helping companies navigate regulatory complexities, optimize investment decisions, and deliver value to shareholders and the wider economy.
