TBI Appoints Nzioka Waita As New MD For Africa Advisory

The Tony Blair Institute has appointed Nzioka Waita as the new Managing Director for Africa Advisory. Waita joins TBI from Momentum Africa Partners where he served as the Managing Partner.

TBI announced Waita’s appointment saying that he has the skills and capabilities that embody the best of TBI’s value proposition as advisors to political leaders on strategy, policy, and delivery.

“He is the former Chief of Staff to the (former) President of Kenya, a position he assumed after founding the President’s delivery unit. Recently, he worked with TBI as an independent advisor to support our teams around the world driving radical-but-practical policy solutions for leaders,” TBI wrote in a LinkedIn post.

Prior to his experience in Kenyan politics and government, Waita spent fourteen years at Safaricom PLC, including four years as the head of corporate affairs. His career began in the practice of law and he holds a master’s degree in IT and telecommunications law.
