His journey with O&L began in 1998 at Namibia Breweries Limited as Manager: Corporate Affairs, a role he held until 2001. He then became the first CEO of the Namibia Tourism Board, shaping Namibia’s tourism landscape over a five-year period.

In 2007, Gideon’s passion for purpose-driven impact led him back to O&L as Corporate Affairs Manager at NBL. His dedication and world-class expertise earned him the role of Chief Corporate Relations Officer at the O&L Centre in 2012, followed by Manager of Corporate Affairs.
