In the rapidly evolving digital landscape of Africa, the Africa CEO Forum 2024 has become a beacon of innovation and strategic discourse. The forum’s Strategic Roundtable Discussion, titled “Africa Goes Digital: How Can Businesses Gain?” is particularly noteworthy, featuring Mr. Joe Sang, the Managing Director of Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), as a key participant.

With a rich background in strategic planning and finance, Mr. Sang brings over two decades of experience to the table. His tenure at prestigious institutions like East Africa Breweries Limited and National Oil Corporation of Kenya has cemented his reputation as a thought leader in the sector. His academic prowess, with a Master of Business Administration in Strategy and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, along with his Certified Public Accountant status, makes him an authority on the subject.

Under Mr. Sang’s leadership, KPC has achieved significant milestones, including infrastructure upgrades and enhanced operational efficiency. His vision for KPC aligns with the company’s mission to provide reliable and efficient petroleum solutions across Africa.

During the roundtable, Mr. Sang emphasized the transformative power of technology, “The application of technology is not just an operational enhancer but a strategic imperative. At KPC, we’ve seen firsthand how technology, like our fiber optic cable network, can revolutionize efficiency and connectivity,” he stated.

The discussion also highlighted KPC’s foray into fiber optic cabling, a testament to the company’s commitment to technological advancement. “Our fiber optic cable initiative is a leap towards futureproofing our operations and contributing to the region’s digital infrastructure,” Mr. Sang elaborated.

The roundtable featured a distinguished panel of speakers, including Jesse Moore, Co-founder & CEO of M-Kopa, Iain Usiri, CEO of Ramani, Daniel Yu, Founder & CEO of WASOKO, and Stephen Gitagama, Group CEO of Nation Media Group. Susan Lund, Vice President for Economics and Private Sector Development at IFC, also shared her insights, alongside other notable figures.
