Denis Ntara, the country director of Saraya Kenya—a Japanese manufacturer of health and hygiene products—got his big break at Procter & Gamble in Takasaki, Japan as a national technical project manager before listening to the voices in the wind, moving back to Africa as business development manager, and later crossing over to Saraya, Kenya.
He speaks (and writes, emphasis) Japanese. He even co-founded a radio station—Radio Takasaki—in Japan, where he was the resident DJ.
