Former Branch CEO Rose Muturi joins Moniepoint to lead Kenya operations

Moniepoint Inc has appointed Rose Muturi, former Branch Kenya CEO, as the chief executive for Kenya, as the Nigerian fintech unicorn bolsters its expansion strategy in East Africa following the acquisition of Sumac Microfinance Bank earlier in the year. The Nigerian fintech, in an emailed response on Tuesday, confirmed the appointment, stating that Muturi has been brought on board to oversee the company’s strategic direction and not to manage its new local subsidiary.
