Having founded Gina Din Corporate Communications in 1997, Gina Din-Kariuki is not only a trailblazer in the African public relations business, but also a pioneer among women entrepreneurs in her home country of Kenya, where she has also been a mentor to many of the market’s top professionals and also an active philanthropist—all of which earned her the Outstanding Individual Achievement SABRE Awards this year.

Prior to launching her own firm, Gina previously spent 13 years as head of corporate affairs for Barclays Bank of Kenya, and parlayed her expertise in the financial services sector into relationships with clients including her former employer, Old Mutual, Kenya Commercial Bank and CIC Insurance. Since then, she has provided strategic counsel to 80% of the corporate market in Kenya and has been a leader in shaping conversations in Africa more broadly. #cta101
