The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
KAMPALA, UGANDA | THE INDEPENDENT | The iconic Johnnie Walker Blue Club is taking a bold step forward, embracing a younger, visionary generation with a refined taste for excellence and rare whisky. This Saturday, the Club returns with a fresh twist — a private celebration of bold leadership and timeless flavour, hosted by rising business powerhouse Dean Munene.
Traditionally a space reserved for seasoned industrial titans, the Blue Club is now broadening its circle to welcome a new wave of high-performing, high-net-worth young professionals reshaping Uganda’s business scene. At the helm of this evolution is Munene, Managing Director of Volve Global Ltd — a key distributor for Uganda Breweries Ltd — whose leadership and innovation have made him a standout figure among the country’s emerging elite.
“Dean represents the future of leadership — dynamic, strategic, and deeply connected to the evolving business environment,” said Christine Kyokunda, Brand Manager Reserve & Scotch at Uganda Breweries Ltd.
“This edition of the Johnnie Walker Blue Club will offer more than luxurious whisky; it will provide a vibrant space for next-gen thinkers to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate their journeys.”
Dean brings a wealth of experience across sectors including financial services, telecom, aviation, and government. With a background shaped by institutions like PwC, Durham University, and Makerere University, his career spans over 16 years of transformative impact. Under his leadership, Volve Global Ltd services over 500 enterprises across Uganda, supporting more than 1,000 employees through its expansive distribution network.
With a reputation for exceptional people management and innovative strategy, Dean is the ideal host for this new chapter of the Blue Club — one where influence meets authenticity, and legacy is shaped by action.
The event promises an unforgettable evening of fine whisky, compelling conversation, and visionary networking, all set against the rich backdrop of Johnnie Walker Blue Label — known for its unparalleled smoothness and complexity.
Membership to the exclusive Johnnie Walker Blue Club is by referral only, and the annual fee is USD $1,500. As the club opens its doors to younger innovators, it continues to uphold its legacy: where prestige meets progress and the future is poured one glass at a time.
