The Titans continued to strike blows for women in the mostly male world of cricket yesterday when they named Patricia Kambarami as their chief operating officer.
Kambarami, who has served as the franchise’s marketing and events manager since October, 2003, which followed her work on that year’s World Cup, follows in the footsteps of Elise Lombard.
Lombard, to date the only female chief executive of a SA franchise, also the Titans, died of a heart attack on August 9 - Women’s Day - in 2012.
Kambarami, a mother of two, holds an MBA from Nottingham Trent University, and is in the second year of four years of study towards a masters in sport law from De Montfort University in Leicester.
“I have no doubt she is the perfect person for this new challenge,” Titans chief executive Jacques Faul was quoted as saying in a release. “Patricia is also 100% focused on delivery for the sake of the franchise’s continual commercial success.”
Bulawayo-born Kambarami, the sister of Zimbabwe Cricket chairperson Peter Chingoka, will take up her new position next week.
