Winds of change sweep across the energy sector

A small but significant change is taking place in the energy sector. The confirmation of Mrs Rebecca Miano as the chief executive of KenGen falls perfectly within an emerging trend. Away from the jubilation seen in the social media and the energy sector in particular, the appointment of Mrs Miano represents an ongoing strategic positioning of women in what has otherwise been a man’s world.

KenGen remains one of the most profitable and promising companies in the sector. With the recently appointed CEO of National Oil also being a woman, we are seeing a shift in the market where opportunities in the energy sector are opening up for all to participate. But that’s not all. The recent appointments also show a shift from the tradition of picking top management from core engineering to business-oriented expertise.
