The cheerful and plain-spoken Gitahi Gachahi has been chief executive at Ernst & Young’s Eastern Africa practice since 2010. In this time, Ernst & Young (EY) has cemented its position as the professional services firm with the largest footprint across the region.
EY became the first of the ‘big 4’ global audit firms to set up shop in South Sudan in 2013. And in addition to its regional headquarters in Nairobi, it has offices in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
