Vivo Energy Kenya on Tuesday announced the appointment of Peter Murungi as Managing Director effective December 1, 2019.
This comes after the former boss, Joe Muganda’s decision to leave the firm at the end of November following a two-year stint.
Joe Muganda took the mantle following the exit of Polycarp Igathe who had resigned in 2017 to take up the job of Nairobi Deputy Governor; a role from which he has since resigned.
Prior to Vivo Energy, Muganda had just quit his job as Nation Media Group CEO before completing his tenure. He had joined the Group from Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) where he had been Managing Director for five years.
Murungi has worked for Vivo Energy over the last 12 years in various capacities, most recently leading the Group's implementation is a new Entreprise Resource Planning System.
