AIIM Chief Executive Officer Jurie Swart was keen to note, “East Africa continues to be one of the fastest growing regions in the world with an estimated growth rate of 6.2 per cent in 2019.”
“To sustain this strong performance the region needs to continue to unlock investment in its infrastructure,” he added.

The Company’s CEO also indicated, “Wanjiku’s appointment reinforces our deep operational experience on the ground in Kenya and brings an expert new perspective to the table. Her impressive background paired with her deep understanding of the investment landscape in Kenya.”
The company maintains good and close working relations with companies in the country such as Wells Fargo and PWC among others.
