Who was it who said ‘The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice?’ That might not necessarily be true for Martin R Ochieng, the Group Managing Director of Sasini. You’d have to be blind not to notice his impeccable suit and the elegance with which he wears it. However, what pours out of this suit, out of him, is something that you might struggle to place a firm finger on, especially if you meet him for only an hour. There are bright sparks of confidence that sometimes emit flashes of pride which often might sound like the great Cannon sounds of hubris.
What you will not confuse, though, is his firm stand on issues, no matter how unconventional they may be. “I’m very decisive, once I decide on what I want, nothing else matters.” He says. “I have no apology to give for choosing [those] philosophies of life that guide the way I live now.”
