  Let me add the voice to the many whose chests are sticking out with pride at the announcement of this prestigious appointment.

    If there's anyone who can facilitate Google innovation into Kenya and the region, it is Mucheru - he has been a change agent in the local Kenyan Internet industry and I know that I am one of many who will be looking out to see "what next" with his work at Google.

    Well done - Joe - we need to celebrate this in real KICTANET fashion with a little "Kililimbi" dance!!!

    Joseph Mucheru has been named the new site lead for Google Kenya. This was whispered to be happening, but at today’s Google lunch at TEDGlobal the position was made official by Francoise Brougher, Director of Google Business Opportunities.

    This is great news for East Africa and Google. They’re getting one of the true leaders in the ISP space, and someone who has a great deal of experience navigating the many difficult situations that arise in the African IT sector.

    Congratulations Joseph!

    (Note: This is Google’s first sub-Saharan Africa employee, not counting a couple sales guys in SA)
