Malm will succeed Koen Peters, who announced his departure in 2023, after 10 years at the helm of GOGLA.

Before joining GOGLA, she led strategic communications and outreach for the US Goverment-led partnership Power Africa. She managed global teams to deliver first-time and improved energy access to over 200 million people living and working in sub-Saharan Africa.
