The Master category winner will represent Eastern Africa at the global awards ceremony, to be held in Monte Carlo in June this year. The winner will be inducted into the World Entrepreneur Hall of Fame and compete with over 50 other country finalists for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year Award™, one of the most coveted global business awards.

Previous winners from Africa include, Dr. James Mwangi, CEO and Managing Director of Equity Bank Group, who took the 2012 global title and the late Bill Lynch of Imperial Holdings, who in 2005, went on to become the first African to win the title.  Emmanuel Katongole, of Quality Chemical Industries Group, Uganda represented the region in 2013.

Gitahi concludes, “This year’s program boasts a great calibre of finalists. It is encouraging to see that all finalists in the Emerging category are women. In Africa women are an untapped economic force for growth, driving social and economic progress. Each finalist should be celebrated for the contributions they are making in leading our continent into a new future.”

This year’s winners will be announced at a gala event to be held on the 27 March 2014.

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award Programme, which is the world’s most prestigious award for entrepreneurs, was launched in East and West Africa in 2011.
