Eng. Elizabeth Rogo

President and CEO, Tsavo Oilfield Services
Kenya

“As (women) models we must not only inspire but also provide opportunities for other women to join and excel in what is still a male-dominated sector. We have come a long way in changing perceptions and realizing our immense contributions in the African energy sector and beyond. I believe there are more opportunities that lie ahead for women to continue to make a positive change.”

Eng. Elizabeth Rogo

(Kenya Power Director Recognised Among Outstanding Female Executives in the African Oil and Gas Sector.)

Her international experience in Senior Management, Business Development and Engineering also included being the first female Country Manager (Kenya) followed by Eastern African Regional Head in sub-Sahara Africa at Weatherford. Elizabeth is now the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TSAVO Oilfield Services – a leading Kenyan energy technical consultancy servicing the Oil and Gas, Geothermal and Mining sectors and with strategic partnerships with regional and international companies.

Rogo’s accolades and honours speaks to her deep commitment as a woman leader and an advocate of greater gender diversity in the Africa energy sector that includes:
