To strengthen its climate impact and further its long-term growth agenda throughout Nigeria and the wider region, Carbon Limits Nigeria announced a new leadership structure and appointed James Ogunleye as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
The company said in a statement available to BrandSpur news brand that the appointment became effective on July 1, 2025. It is anticipated that Ogunleye, a specialist in carbon finance, policy formulation, and execution, will guide the business into what it calls its “next impact phase.”
According to the company: “He brings the technical depth and strategic vision to guide the organisation.”
Heine Melkevik was appointed Board Director, another significant appointment. He would be in charge of business development, institutional collaborations, and strategic direction in this new position.
His continued presence, according to the company, “Reflects our deep ties with global best practice and our dedication to driving high-integrity growth.”
Continuing, Jordan McCrackin would also remain the Chief Commercial Officer, overseeing the business’s commercial operations and advisory portfolio.
Carbon-Limits Nigeria’s reputation as a supplier of “technically robust, locally grounded, and globally informed” solutions is anticipated to be upheld under his leadership.
Dr. Bolaji Ogundare, the company’s Chairman, discussed the changes, stating that the new structure is a proactive reaction to changing trends in the carbon markets. He said: “The carbon markets are evolving rapidly, demanding agility and a clear responsiveness from forward-looking organisations. As a board, we are intentionally repositioning our leadership to anticipate these shifts and align for more than 15 years.”
According to the company, it has helped governments, private sector players, and development partners pursue low-carbon development, unlock carbon finance, and create pathways for reducing emissions. The company claims that the change signalled a renewed dedication to providing high-impact, transformative climate solutions, from project to policy.
