im Ekandjo wears many hats, but he is most well known as the voice of Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC), in his role as the head of Corporate Affairs. However, very few people outside the HR profession know that Ekandjo is a formidable HR practitioner and that he doubles up as MTC’s head of Human Capital. He is also the visionary behind the Namibia Institute of People Management (IPM), Namibia’s first HR professional body. IPM represents the human resource and people management fraternity in Namibia and has been in existence for over a decade. Pulse HR had the privilege of sitting down with Ekandjo in his capacity as Founder and President of IPM, to reflect on the professional body’s journey thus far and gain insights into its plans for the future.
