In 2007, as a young boy from my hometown of Nakuru, I moved to Nairobi seeking quality University Education. I chose Strathmore University Business School to pursue my Bachelor of Commerce Degree.

An attitude of gratitude: honestly looking back at my family, career strides, networks, and opportunities at hand this did not all come by fluke.

I’m grateful to Strathmore for "sprucing me up" for the World ahead.

Thank you Strathmore Fraternity & special shout out to all SU Alumni & Friends.

Here’s a snapshot of my SU Journey...

It is neither sustainable nor equitable for the vast majority of our micro and small businesses, the cornerstone of Kenya's economy, to remain excluded from the flow of capital they need to grow, innovate and create jobs.

Behind every successful scale-up is a room full of strategy, ambition, and community✨

We had a chat with the incredible founders from Cohort 1 of the Ibuka Growth Program to hear about their 2-day experience. From mastering corporate governance to unlocking capital market fundraising pathways, hear firsthand how they are transforming their businesses.

The insights in this video are a masterclass for any founder looking to scale.
🚀

Ready to be in the next cohort? Applications for Cohort 2 are NOW OPEN: https://t.co/DZbJxOIrsG

Thank you to our partners @AGF_Group and Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (#AFAWA) for making this possible.

Access to finance remains one of the strongest drivers of enterprise growth, job creation and poverty reduction across Africa.

Engaged leadership from the African Guarantee Fund, a specialised guarantee institution supporting economic development by unlocking credit for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises across the continent.

We reviewed AGF’s expanding footprint in 44 African countries and its strong track record in supporting SMEs through innovative guarantee products and capacity-building partnerships with financial institutions. Their model continues to strengthen Africa’s financing ecosystem while upholding high standards within the sector.

The delegation was led by Interim Group CEO Mr. Constant N’ZI, Group Chief Finance Officer Mrs. Daisy Wanjie and Group Director for Human Resources Mr. Allan Akoko, as we explored deeper collaboration to accelerate enterprise growth and inclusive prosperity in Kenya and beyond.

Launch night for Beyond the Ballot carried weight. African voices spoke with force about power beyond elections, narrative as leverage, soft power as currency, and trust as leadership’s backbone. Votes are counted in a day. Trust is built daily. @SingoeiAKorir @ThebeIkalafeng @nkosi_milton @ForeignOfficeKE @LuolDeng9 @didierdrogba
