He is a tall man with a boy’s face. Once, while meeting a bunch of much older, more traditional businessmen in a boardroom, the suits asked him if he could serve them tea as they waited for Mr Kenneth Mbae. He served them tea and introduced himself later, “I’m Mr Mbae.”
At 36, a graduate of Kenyatta University (Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry) and an alumnus (AMDP XVIII) of Harvard University, Kenneth is making moves that would not be described as boyish. Top of mind was the transformation, a Sh5.5 billion asset ( a sisal plantation, really) to a Sh20 billion business when he was the managing director of Vipingo Development.
