I don't buy this for one second, all their second line managers Finance, Marketing HR, Engineering, Sales, Commercial you name it are all local. Board members are also 90-95% local. There are several Kenyan's working with functional experience that should be considered. Remember how Gareth George run down KCB and needed Martin Oduor Otieno to fix, Barclays, Standard Chartered, KQ the list goes on have local leadership have they gone under? I want to be plain here, we tend to think accent and much touted "foreign" exposure and little "toner" is what it takes. If I was not wrong there was an agreement that MJ would handover to a local person how things change overnight. Kiania On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:
Regarding EABL and Wananchi - their new bosses are group CEOs which as John said would need people with experience working outside your home country. (Note to self: Work outside the country as a big shot to become a CEO :) ) -- Josiah Mugambi

Its not that they are "foreign" its that companies want to hire people with regional experience....working outside your home country is a huge plus if you ever want to be CEO of a company. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
