Deloitte appoints Martin Oduor as a senior advisor

Deloitte & Touché has appointed former KCB Bank chief executive Martin Oduor-Otieno as a senior advisor in the financial services industry (FSI) group.

Mr Oduor-Otieno joins the auditing and consulting firm barely three months after he was appointed to the boards of listed firms East African Breweries and BAT Kenya.

Deloitte East Africa said it is banking on Mr Oduor-Otieno’s wealth of experience in the banking industry to offer consultancy services to its clients. He retired from KCB Bank in December 2012 after serving for five years as CEO.

“We are pleased to have on board one of the best financial minds in the region join our team. His experience in the banking industry will bolster service offering to financial service industry clients served by Deloitte in EA,” said Deloitte EA CEO Sammy Onyango.

Previously, Mr Oduor-Otieno worked as the regional head of Barclays business support based in Johannesburg, South Africa before rising to the head of compliance and reporting in the same institution until 2007.

Mr Oduor-Otieno, 56, holds an Executive MBA and Bachelor of Commerce degrees and is a fellow of both the Kenya Institute of Bankers and Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya.
