CorporateConnections, a premier global business networking forum, has officially launched in Kenya marking a major step for the country’s growing community of high-level entrepreneurs and executives.
Operating in 33 countries worldwide, CorporateConnections brings together business leaders from enterprises with an annual revenue of $5 million (approximately KSh 650 million) or more, offering exclusive access to international networks, peer-level collaboration, and strategic business partnerships.
The Kenya chapter, CorporateConnections–Kenya, will be led by Lilian Gachoki and Nancy Githuku-Kihika, both accomplished entrepreneurs with extensive experience in business leadership across diverse sectors. The two have secured franchise rights to expand and manage the brand locally.
