Edgar Kitur enters the cafe in Nairobi’s Riverside Square, proffers a large, warm hand and sets down his gym bag for our interview. He is from the gym, but he is also juggling work and guests at the office, a busy man. There is something grounding about his effortless energy—like if you sat next to him at brunch, you would leave with a new playlist, a restaurant recommendation and maybe an injection of energy that you didn’t know you needed.

Edgar studied at St Andrew’s Turi. At 17, he went to the University of Manchester. At 32, he was appointed the General Manager of Bolt Food Kenya.
