About

For Lois Allela, her ‘strategic contribution and visibility at board level’ are areas which have been particularly important to her throughout a high-powered in-house career. Supporting European, Middle Eastern and East African operations for the world’s largest temporary power generation company, Allela is widely respected in corporate counsel and energy circles alike. ‘Risk evaluation’, she says, is particularly challenging in the variety of emerging economies she deals with. Having previously led high level policy issues at the National Oil Corporation of Kenya, she has rounded and deep-rooted sector knowledge. In her current position, she plays a key role in business strategy and has led numerous significant cross-border transactions. Previously Telecom Kenya’s general counsel, Allela played a pivotal role in overhauling training, governance and processes.
