Why board succession matters now
Kenyan governance codes, including the Capital Markets Authority's code for listed issuers and the Mwongozo code for state corporations, expect boards to have the right mix of skills, independence, and diversity, and to plan for renewal.
Boards that wait until a term ends often rush appointments. A planned approach gives you time to find directors who fill real skill gaps, such as technology, risk, audit, or sustainability.
How we support Kenyan boards
A board skills and composition review that maps current skills against the strategy and highlights gaps and upcoming term expiries.
A succession roadmap for the chair, committee chairs, and independent directors, with timing that matches the board calendar.
Confidential searches for independent non-executive directors and chairs, including candidates from outside your usual network.
Family businesses and growing companies
For family-owned companies and investor-backed firms, we help introduce the first independent directors and plan leadership succession from founders to the next generation of management.
CEO succession
Board succession and CEO succession are linked. We help boards assess internal successors against external benchmarks so the board makes its choice with real evidence.
