Passing the Torch: EO Kenya’s Next Chapter
Our President Elect for 2026 - 2027: Sneha Shah
I feel like the luckiest President EO Kenya has ever had. This year, we had four remarkable candidates for the roles of President-Elect and President Elect-Elect: Ashish Shah, James Savage, Rupen Shah, and Sneha Shah. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with each of them on the board over the past few years, and I can say with conviction that every one of them brings excellence, integrity, and vision to the table. Their leadership styles are as inspiring as they are distinct, and the diversity of thought they represent has enriched our board conversations in powerful ways. Together, they embody the kind of principled, forward-looking leadership EO Kenya is known for.
Passing the Torch: EO Kenya’s Next Chapter
Our President Elect for 2026 - 2027: Sneha Shah
This past Tuesday, the board heard their pitches—and choosing just one was anything but easy.
It’s my pleasure to announce and warmly congratulate our new President-Elect, Sneha Shah
As for the President Elect-Elect position, it was a close contest, but no single candidate could be declared the winner by the board. In line with our constitution, when no clear majority is reached, the two candidates with the highest number of board votes are presented to the full EO Kenya membership for final selection. Voting will take place online, and we’ll be sharing more details shortly.
Our two candidates for President Elect-Elect are James Savage and Rupen Shah.
A heartfelt thank you to Ashish Shah for his candidacy and continued service—his leadership and generosity of spirit have left a lasting mark on our chapter.
With this extraordinary slate of leaders, we’re stepping into two years of continuity, collaboration, and bold vision. The torch isn’t just being passed—it’s being carried forward with purpose, integrity, and momentum.
Let’s celebrate the spirit of leadership and community that makes EO Kenya not just a chapter, but a movement.
Your voice matters—when the voting opens, we invite every member to participate and help shape the future of EO Kenya.

Founders and entrepreneurs often carry a hidden paradox: high self-belief paired with low self-esteem—“I can do this, or at least fake it well enough, but I’m not worthy of it.”
When chaos hits in business, these doubts intensify. Yet, with the right self-awareness, uncertainty becomes a powerful gift.
Pierre helps leaders unlock those hidden strengths. As founder of Be Brave, he brings over two decades of experience developing people, building businesses, and designing winning strategies for scaleups and global brands. A four-time TEDx speaker, award-winning

Spinner and Spinners: What a journey
My first BTS organised at Spinners and Spinners began with a tough journey as police closed roads due to CHAN but all was well as Gaurav took us around his 15 acre (part of it!!) factory. 100s of machine and more importantly a journey of a thousand miles which started with two machines and a prayer. Values, cultures and pan African vision demonstrated. This was a masterclass in action from one of EO Kenya’s longest members! Those who missed this WOW experience.. well…!
As learning chair I am curating learning experiences around being big and bold and scaling! I am showcasing these world class factories - as EO Kenya many of us are world class and learnings from BTS help to shape your thoughts, exchange ideas and takeaways that add value to your membership! Plan them well in advance. More BTS and my professional series of ITB will be shared soon!
