News Makers with Bob Collymore

He joined Safaricom limited as its chief executive officer, assuming the mantle of leadership at the region's most profitable company, from Michael Joseph, a man who had come to take on the same stature as the firm he helped found ten years earlier. At the time of this otherwise seamless transition in Kenya's corporate scene, the question was whether or not bob Collymore was going to fit seamlessly into Michael's shoes. And more than 6 months later that still is the question most people continue to ask bob Collymore whenever they meet him. His answer, he wants to chart his own path and lead Safaricom to even greater heights. But who is Bob Collymore? Evelyn Wambui spent some time with the man and gives us a insights into the life and times of Safaricom CEO, Bob Collymore.

[@margaret8940]

@@Jecigray7777 yes I remember reading that he adopted a daughter in his fifties. They had adopted the cute little girl in this clip. He also had an older son and once posted his graduation photo online last year. I expected at least his son to be at his memorial service but he wasn't.

[@iamgathui]

Whereas of course I respect the guy and his achievements, one has to ask himself or herself, how much of this is PR? Sometimes its easy to see through a facade and how one is meant to potray themselves in the limelight.
But well done Safcom, I eagerly await to see more from other players like Bharti and see how well they respond.
