NAIROBI, Kenya, July 18 – The newly formed Two Rivers International Finance & Innovation Centre (TRIFIC) has appointed two new top officials to attract new investments.
The new appointees include TRIFIC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brenda Mbathi and Chief Operations Officer (COO) Justus Kariuki Mate.
Before that, Mbathi served as General Electric’s (GE’s) President and CEO for East Africa.
She has over 30 years of experience in general management, government affairs, and public policy, among others.
Centum Investment Company Group CEO James Mworia said Brenda’s key focus will be operationalizing TRIFIC into a vibrant Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and investors’ gateway of choice in Africa.
“Brenda has the skills and vast experience to transform TRIFIC into an investment hub of international repute, she will get our full backing to this noble task,” said Mworia.
Last month, Real Estate Development Two Rivers announced that it would establish TRIFIC after it was designated as a private, services-focused special economic zone (SEZ).
Kariuki previously served as Executive Vice President of Tatu City, a private SEZ in Kiambu County.
“The appointments of the TRIFIC executive team and the successful acquisition of assets from TRDL, including development rights on the Two Rivers land, means it is now all systems go at the Special Economic Zone,” said Mworia.
