Former KCB chief executive officer Martin Oduor-Otieno has opened a consultancy firm dealing with corporate leadership. His firm Leadership Group Limited was registered at the start of this year.
The consultancy firm comes hot on the heels of Oduor-Otieno’s appointment as a non-executive director at NSE-listed British American Tobacco (BAT)
Mr Oduor-Otieno, 59, holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting from the University of Nairobi and an Executive MBA from ESAMI/Maastricht Business School. He is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School Advanced Management Programme and holds an Honorary Doctorate of Business Leadership from KCA University.
Mr Oduor-Otieno was part of the “Dream Team” appointed by president Moi in 1999 to help turn around the economy. While he has had a relatively quiet, behind-the-scenes tenure at Deloitte, it is at KCB that he was most successful, steering the bank to a dominant position in terms of balance sheet size and profits. When he took over as CEO in 2007, KCB posted a Sh2.9 billion net profit on a total asset base of Sh120.4 billion.
