Dear Friends, I would like to thank you all for your support messages and appreciation of this great opportunity. I am humbled to have been selected for this responsibility. Trust me the process was not easy. I would also like to thank Google for taking the bold move of not only getting into Africa, but also listening to Africans and selecting one of us to lead in the region. Thank you all for the great support. Joe Mucheru

Joseph Mucheru has been named the new site lead for Google Kenya. This was whispered to be happening, but at todayâ˙s Google lunch at
TEDGlobal
the position was made official by Francoise Brougher, Director of Google Business Opportunities.
This is great news for East Africa and Google. Theyâ˙re getting one of the true leaders in the ISP space, and someone who has a great deal of experience navigating the many difficult situations that arise in the African IT sector.
Congratulations Joseph!
(Note: This is Googleâ˙s first sub-Saharan Africa employee, not counting a couple sales guys in SA)
