George Mboya has been named chief executive officer of SSP America, effective immediately, SSP Group plc announced today. Mboya has been serving as interim CEO since mid-May, when he took over for departing CEO Pat Murray.
Mboya joined SSP America in 2017 and has since played a pivotal role in the company’s financial and strategic evolution, the company said, pointing to Mboya’s role in leading the business through more than 300% revenue growth via organic expansion, strategic acquisitions and successful new business wins. He was later promoted to CFO, before taking over as interim CEO earlier this year.
“George is a leader of rare caliber,” said Patrick Coveney, Group CEO of SSP Group plc. He not only brings the technical excellence and commercial rigor required to lead SSP America into its next chapter of sustainable growth and returns, but also embodies the values that define our culture. He is passionate, principled and relentlessly focused on excellence. George sets high standards, takes ownership and leads with a ‘never fail’ mindset that inspires those around him.”
The parent company said SSP America is a core growth driver within SSP’s global portfolio, contributing nearly a quarter of total group revenues.
