DTE Appoints Maryanne Cheruiyot To New Role

Down To Earth Technologies (DTE) has appointed Maryanne Cheruiyot as Head of Business for Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, bringing a new commercial lead to its financial services business.

Cheruiyot joins the Nairobi-based systems integrator with more than 10 years of experience in enterprise technology sales, strategic account management and business development. She previously held a senior commercial role at Check Point Software Technologies, a cybersecurity vendor.

Her experience spans cybersecurity, enterprise networking and strategic customer engagement. She also holds an Executive MBA from Strathmore Business School.

At DTE, Cheruiyot will oversee customer relationships across the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector, identifying technology requirements and coordinating solutions with the company’s vendor and channel partners.

The appointment brings banks, insurers and other financial institutions under a dedicated business lead as technology providers respond to demand for secure and reliable digital infrastructure across the sector.

Financial institutions rely on technology for digital banking, payments, customer data management and internal operations. These systems also face security and regulatory requirements that influence how institutions select and deploy technology.

Cheruiyot’s previous experience at Check Point places her background in cybersecurity within a role that will cover a broader range of enterprise technology needs.

Founded in 2011, DTE operates from Nairobi and serves businesses in Kenya and the wider East African market. The company provides enterprise network architecture, security architecture and service provider architecture, serving large enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses and service providers.

The appointment establishes a dedicated commercial leadership position for the financial services sector within DTE’s business, with responsibility for customer engagement and coordinating technology solutions across its partner network.
