SPECIAL EO OFFER:

Data Protection: Are you Compliant?

Did you know that under the Data Protection Act, most businesses are required to register as Data Controllers / Processors with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner? If your company handles any personal data and hasn’t yet registered, you are at risk of non-compliance.

EO can organise a free sensitisation presentation where Amaan Kassam & Co. Advocates will walk you through the key provisions of the Act and how to ensure that your business is fully compliant.

The format could be a Forum Session, a 1:1, or a Chapter Wide presentation (to be confirmed).

EO Kenya Learning Event AutoXpress: A Journey

of Grit and Growth

From humble beginnings in Kisumu 66 years ago to dominating Kenya’s automotive retail scene, AutoXpress is a family-driven powerhouse. This intimate EO event was packed with lessons from a legacy business: scaling from small towns, embracing retail with Pirelli in ‘97, and pioneering tire retreading, recycling, and app-based services. The third-gen founders shared how tough decisions, governance, and VC funding propelled them into new markets with world-class standards.

Key takeaway: Disrupt yourself before someone else does. From client trust to transparent pricing, AutoXpress proves that a customer-centric approach and relentless adaptability win the race every time. Missed it? You missed gold.
