On July 19, 2019, Jeff Koinange made history by fulfilling the last wish of the late Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore.
During his live show, Collymore had asked Jeff to host female executives who are making waves in the industry, naming Debrah, Rita, and Sylvia as examples.
Jeff took up the challenge and invited Serah Katusia, Managing Director at MediaCom, Jane Karuku, CEO of Kenya Breweries Limited, and Rita Kavashe, Managing Director at Isuzu East Africa, to share their experiences.
The episode was a huge success, with the three women sharing their inspiring stories of breaking through the glass ceiling and achieving success in their careers.
As a mother and CEO, Karuku revealed that Kenya Breweries Limited now offers six months of maternity leave for its female employees, a groundbreaking move in Kenya.
For Kavashe, she shared that she made many sacrifices, including leaving her daughter when she was just crawling, only to find her walking when she returned.
Collymore's last wish was a selfless gift to young female mentees, and Jeff's episode shed light on the life of a female CEO, inspiring others to pursue their dreams.
