Work Background
Botswana Oil LimitedGM Supply
Aug. 2022 - Dec. 2025Engineered the transition from Botswana’s subsidy-heavy fuel pricing to a dynamic market-driven model; ending unsustainable subsidies, eliminating cost overruns, and establishing fair-value pricing that stabilized supply. This repositioned Botswana Oil Ltd (BOL) as a fiscally prudent, multi-corridor procurement authority, unlocking significant budgetary capacity.
Led Botswana’s national fuel diversification strategy, ending decades of dependency on a single source by securing alternative corridors. This dismantled monopoly tariffs, expanded regional access, and restored sovereign control; strengthening energy security, lowering import costs, and enhancing BOL’s regional influence.
Negotiated a landmark petroleum supply agreement, replacing punitive “take-or-pay” clauses with a milestone-based offtake aligned to actual consumption and cash flow; mitigating oversupply risk and safeguarding sovereign liquidity and BOL’s balance sheet.
Led renegotiation of a critical fuel transport contract, removing onerous liabilities and adopting a risk-sharing framework that protected BOL and government from transit losses, improved cross-border reliability, and ensured uninterrupted supply without sovereign guarantees.
Co-directed expansion of national fuel storage capacity: more than doubling days of supply and embedded ESG resilience, including drilling high-yield boreholes that generated significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
Transformed Botswana’s largest petroleum contract into BOL’s first open-structure, zero-guarantee agreement, eliminating mandatory credit instruments and take-or-pay obligations, unlocking treasury agility and securing stable supply amid global volatility.
Conceived and implemented BOL’s Citizen Economic Empowerment framework, scaling citizen-owned fuel transport via strategic MOUs and increasing citizen import participation: significantly boosting revenue, EBITDA, and positioning BOL as a national anchor for economic transformation.
