Samuel Otieno
My name is Samuel Otieno, and I am 38. I serve as the lead author and editor-in-chief for much of the content featured on nib.or.ke, a platform dedicated to Kenya’s business development, infrastructure, and policy innovation. I bring over a decade of experience in research, public communication, and digital publishing — with a strong focus on:
- Public infrastructure and investment opportunities
- National industrial growth and policy
- Business expos and government-backed trade forums
- Entrepreneurship, innovation, and development trends in East Africa
Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between Kenya’s evolving economic sectors and the broader global market by offering practical insights and data-driven analysis.
Education
I was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, where my early interest in information technology and development journalism led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology at the University of Nairobi, graduating in 2006. While studying, I began writing for public-sector and business publications, laying the foundation for my editorial and content strategy career.
Experience
With over 10 years of professional experience in journalism, content development, and digital communication, I’ve become known for producing well-researched, accessible articles that inform both professionals and policymakers.
I have contributed to various high-level forums and development expos, including:
- Kenya International Investment Conference (KIICO)
- EAC Manufacturing Summit
- Big 4 Agenda Forums
- East Africa Infrastructure Conference
Expertise
My core strengths include:
- Industrial policy analysis
- Investment promotion and trade facilitation content
