Since 2008, Ms Ojiambo has been Safaricom’s head of sustainable business and social impact, and playing that role saw her interact with UNGC many times.
Ms Ojiambo’s current role has also seen her interact many times with the outgoing UNGC executive director – Lise Kingo of Denmark, who has been at the helm since 2015.
Because Safaricom is a member of the UNGC and a couple of other membership organisations, we would attend meetings during the UN General Assembly Week,” says Ms Ojiambo.

The growing disdain for Biden among young Democratic voters has been predicted to dwindle with the promise of a Black woman as vice president, but for many, this is not the case.
This sentiment is shared amongst many young Black voters who are weary of the Democratic Party’s unfulfilled promises as a whole.
Still, other young Black voters aren’t impressed with the pool of choices, and the disdain for Biden is so much that they would risk another four years of Trump.
“I hate to say it, but between Biden and Trump, I’d still vote Trump,” says one young Black woman.
