Henlo Webber
Chief Executive Officer
Henlo Webber has spent the last 15 years at IFS and in this time has been intricately involved in every facet of the business. His story is one of meteoric rise. Due to Henlo’s intimate understanding of all aspects of the organisation, his deep industry knowledge and natural sense of business acumen, he was appointed as COO for East Africa in October 2012, and after excelling in this role he was later appointed as Group COO in 2017. In April 2020, Henlo became CEO of IFS Group.
Henlo has a clear vision for the IFS organisation. He believes strongly in building relationships and getting people involved in the IFS family. He is already developing a strong culture wherein IFS is seen as more than just a place of work, and this reflects in our new tagline; IFS Closer to HOME.
As part of our strategy for the future, we want our new Closer to HOME tagline to carry meaning and purpose. We want to align our company values to it and incorporate it into all that we do. Our IFS family is important and we want everyone to feel Closer to Home.
