On August 17, 2019, Reuben Kimani, CEO of Username Investment Ltd, was honored with the 2019 African Business Personality Award at the Voice Achievers Awards gala dinner held at the Louis Leakey Memorial Hall in the National Museums of Kenya.
The prestigious award, which is in its 10th anniversary, recognizes outstanding individuals who have made a positive impact on Africa and its people. The Voice Achievers Awards was established in the Netherlands by The Voice Magazine and has been held yearly to celebrate the achievements of Africans and friends of Africa.
Reuben Kimani expressed his gratitude to God, his family, and his team at Username Investments for their support. He also thanked their clients and stakeholders for believing in him and his company's mission to make property ownership inclusive for everyone, regardless of their income.
Username Investments has been in the industry for over six years and has impacted thousands of clients across the formal and informal sectors, especially the youth. The company has created employment for over 50 people directly and 500 indirectly in its three offices, two in Nairobi and one in Nakuru.
Reuben Kimani's leadership has been instrumental in making properties deliberately affordable, with prices as low as Ksh 199,000, which are also value-added with a perimeter fence, estate gate, graded access roads, water, and electricity, making them ready for immediate development.
Through his efforts, the company has accomplished over 37 projects, issued over 6,000 title deeds to clients living in Kenya and the diaspora, and has received accolades across the industry for outstanding performance.
Reuben Kimani's mantra is to get important things done and done fast, and he encourages young people to take action and do something that will have an impact in their lives.
