Samwel Njoroge
Venture builder and executive leader at the intersection of electric mobility, sustainable energy, and strategic growth across emerging markets. Currently building a Kenyan EV company with a clear path from assembly to fleet-scale deployment — with a track record of architecting investor-ready strategies, securing high-value partnerships, and turning policy frameworks, including Special Economic Zone designation work, into commercially viable infrastructure. A background that blends creative storytelling with technical systems thinking translates into a rare ability to build brand narratives and execute complex, multi-stakeholder projects from zero to scale.
