Bolt, an on-demand transportation platform in Europe and Africa, has officially announced the appointment of Kenneth Micah as the Regional Manager for East Africa.
Five months ago, the firm hired Nigerian Olaoluwa Akinnusi as the new Country Manager for Bolt Kenya as the firm looks to expand its operations and business across the country. This new hire aims to bolster its East African operations.

We are thrilled about what this means for our business as we continue to rapidly scale and widen the scope of our operations across Africa and beyond,” said Bolt Expansion Manager for Africa, Karl Aru.
He has for the last two years served as Operations Manager for Bolt where he oversaw expansion across cities in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
Prior to joining Bolt, Micah worked at M+R Spedag Group as Manager – Business Intelligence & Analysis, where he helped the Board to have greater insight into the performance of the business for better strategic decisions.
