She has been in Safaricom since 2007 when she joined as a Senior Manager – Reporting, Accounts Receivable and M-PESA,” said Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa in a memo to staff.

"Since then, she has grown her career and expanded her breadth through various leadership roles."

Prior to joining Safaricom, Kimanthi worked both in Kenya and Uganda with Unilever.
