Bob Collymore, the former Safaricom CEO who died on July 1, 2019.
A staunch believer in ethical, sustainable and purpose-driven business, he is a great inspiration for the world today, just as he was when he lived.
Lessons from his life are particularly relevant today for business in a world beset by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Out of this interest in using business to address challenges that the world faces, he served as a member of the Global Commission for Business and Sustainable Development, as a member of the B-Team and on the United Nations Global Compact Board.
Bob’s passion points fit snugly in the world that we find ourselves today, thinking of inclusive, sustainable and ethical business.
