Last Saturday, I hosted the inaugural Peter & Friends Golf Day Tournament at the Muthaiga Golf Club. It was an incredible experience, with over 200 golfers from various clubs and organizations who gathered for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie. Before we teed off, we celebrated the festive season by surprising the caddies at Muthaiga Golf Club with sheep as we continue to spread the Christmas cheer through our #SambazaFurahaNaSafaricom campaign. This tournament held a special place for Safaricom PLC serving as a heartfelt way to show our gratitude to our valued partners. Their unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. I’m truly honored to have been part of such a memorable event. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and participated—your presence made it all the more special! #SafaricomGolf #TeeOffWithPeter #SafaricomAt24

Here at Safaricom, we believe in nurturing the next generation of leaders and innovators. That is why we were excited to host the Safaricom Teen Executive Program, a transformative initiative designed for our staff's children who have just completed high school. This program offered valuable career advice, immersive training, and the chance to explore what a career at Safaricom has to offer. The Teen Executive Program is aligned with our mission to become Africa's leading purpose-led technology company by 2030 and reflects our commitment to sustainability, ethical growth, and creating value for our customers and stakeholders. #FutureChangemakers #TeenExecutiveProgram #SafaricomAt24 Timothy Kipyego Karen Heho MaryAnn Muchiri

Last Saturday, the Romo House - Africa Executive Connect Club event marked a significant milestone - one year journey of Humanizing Leadership. It was an inspiring gathering with an exceptional lineup of industry leaders. I had never shared my personal journey in a public setting. Thanks to Romo House - Africa, I did for the first time in April and it was truly liberating. Over time, as I listened to leaders, I realized how similar their journeys often are. What truly sets great leaders apart is their humility, authenticity and perseverance. I also realised that, as leaders, we often wear a veil, hiding behind our professional name cards. Romo House has done an incredible job of removing that veil in the pursuit of humanizing leadership. To truly understand a leader’s “fruit system,” you must first understand their “root system” - the formative years and the challenges that shape them. They have truly become what they have overcome. Thank you Frank Molla and Nimo Kanina for moderating these insightful sessions. As we celebrate this milestone, I am grateful to all the leaders who have shared their inspiring stories along the way. The insights gained from those stories are worth more than dozens of leadership books! Here is to many more years of humanizing leadership!
