As the Country Director for ECOM Ghana and ECOM Cameroon, he oversees multi-subsidiary operations across the West African region, driving growth for one of the world’s leading soft commodity merchants.
Sudhir’s journey with ECOM began in 2017 in East Africa, where he was instrumental in establishing and scaling the Nuts and Ingredients division across Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. His proven track record in market expansion and innovative commodity sourcing led to his deployment to Ghana, where he first transformed Crop Doctor, the Group’s agrochemical business, into a high-performance organization.
Today, Sudhir leads a diverse portfolio including Agro ECOM (AGL), Unicom (USCL), Sustainable Management Services (SMS), and Kiteko (KGL). Managing a combined workforce of nearly 1,000 employees and outsourced staff, he has successfully embedded sustainable practices across the cocoa and soybean value chains, setting new benchmarks for responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
Under his stewardship, ECOM has not only strengthened its market reach but has also fostered a culture of accountability and people development. An engineering graduate with an MBA, Sudhir’s leadership is defined by a commitment to ethical excellence, organizational efficiency, and the creation of long-term value for smallholder farmers and stakeholders alike.
