Priscilla Sseruuka: From Gayaza Student to Champion of Women on Boards

What the report says

Priscilla Mirembe Sseruuka, founder and chief executive of Kairos Consult, is being profiled by Nile Post for a career and personal journey that now underpins her advocacy for more women in leadership. The article says she spoke on Morning Switch’s Meet the Boss about how family loss, education and successive job changes shaped her outlook on leadership and service.

According to the report, Sseruuka attended Gayaza High School, later studied at Makerere University and worked in banking before moving into development and microfinance roles. She also took on regional leadership responsibilities with an international NGO, covering operations in several East African countries. The piece describes her path as one marked by discipline, adaptability and growing confidence, influenced by her mother’s example and by early leadership roles at school.

Nile Post says Sseruuka now leads Women on Boards, an initiative focused on helping women build confidence, self-awareness and professional networks so they can take part in corporate and institutional decision-making. She argues that leadership requires responsibility and preparation, and that women need support to overcome cultural attitudes that can limit their aspirations.

The article also notes her balancing of professional work with family life, church service and mentoring younger women. It links her advocacy to the Women on Boards Awards Gala 2026, set for October 30 at Sheraton Kampala Hotel in Kampala, which will highlight women leaders under the theme “Governing with Purpose: Celebrating Women Who Lead.”
