Milu Kipimo from Tanzania has recently been appointed as the Country Manager in South Africa (ZA). Having been Senior Country Manager for Tanzania, Tunisia & Ghana, he joins the ZA Bolt Business team with over 5 years of business leadership experience, during which he held various roles in leading organisations in the field of mass media and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), where he coordinated projects at the local and international level.

His extensive experience in Tanzania, Tunisia and Ghana will support our journey as we scale across South Africa and will bring a new perspective to our approach in the south.

A statement from Milu as he anticipates beginning his role: “I’m honoured to join Bolt Business in South Africa. I look forward to bringing my experience with East and North African countries to Bolt Business in SA in order to drive the market’s ambitious business growth goals, while ensuring the high-quality service our customers are looking for with Bolt Business.”
