NAIROBI, KENYA: Former Nakumatt chief marketing officer Dixon Andrew has joined Uchumi Supermakets as the new chief operating officer.

The move comes a month after Dixon left rival Nakumatt where he served as chief marketing officer. Andrew joins Uchumi at a time when it is transitioning through a series of financial challenges which have led to stock outs in its several branches across the country as well as late payments of staff salaries.
