The recent passing of Kenyan Chief of Defence Forces, Francis Ogolla, has not only shed light on his personal life, qualities, and achievements but also highlighted the remarkable journey of his family.
General Ogolla is survived by his wife, Aileen, who has served in the military for many years. She holds the position of chairperson at the Military Wives Welfare Association of Kenya (MWAK). Together, the couple has two children, Joel Rabuku and Lorna A. Omondi Ogolla.
Lorna, the focus of our attention, currently serves as the head of Operational Excellence at Google’s DC Equipment Supply Chain in the San Francisco Bay Area, as per her LinkedIn profile. With over a year in this role, she oversees business operations, strategic planning, and data management systems to ensure excellence within the equipment supply chain team.
Her career highlights include senior roles at Google Data Centers, where she managed worldwide supply-side capacity planning. And a position as a Management and Economic Consultant at Greylock McKinnon Associates and an analyst at Charles River Associates.
Lorna Omondi Ogolla’s Education
Lorna’s educational journey is equally impressive. She began her studies at Kenya High School before pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Later, she obtained Master’s degrees from the University of Cambridge and Stanford University, specializing in Management Science and Operations.
Her academic pursuits covered a wide range of topics, including entrepreneurship, operations strategy, risk management, and data analysis, all of which have undoubtedly contributed to her success in the tech industry.
Beyond her professional and academic accomplishments, Lorna fondly remembers her father as a “pursuer of excellence, most empathetic, and effective leader and statesman.”
