It is with great sorrow that the fraternity & sorority at Titek Solutions Limited join friends and family in heartfelt commiseration of the demise of one of Kenya's foremost business moguls & impresarios Dr. Christopher John Kirubi alias Dr. Chris Kirubi. DJ CK as he affably chose to be addressed, was a friend of the company whose inaugural acquaintance we first made while executing a site survey for an ICT project at the behest of a client in the Two Rivers KE Mall. Though a tad eccentric, this is one of the few Kenya's tycoons that was accessible & open to sharing nuggets of wisdom to all and sundry so that hopefully, they would replicate his success. He used his own life as a case study to achieve this end. Due to our conversance with his wide portfolio of positions held as Board Chairman for Coca-Cola Nairobi bottlers, Haco Industries, Capital FM Kenya, DHL Express Kenya, Bayer East Africa, International House Limited, Kiruma Investments, UAP INSURANCE KENYA adjunct to a Directorship role at Centum Investment PLC; we took great pride in imbibing in his nous on best practice for success in the commercial space. This was a man who believed in the power of the youth & what proper mentorship can help an individual achieve both professionally & in enterprise. Ask the myriad media personalities that got their first break through Capital FM and all those who worked at Centum and other companies managed albeit owned by this juggernaut of business and they all have affable sentiments about the man. This is a man who brooked no hubris as he was indubitably of humble extraction before he made it big.
Long story short, this is one titan that has left sizable footprints in the sands of time worthy of emulation by all.
Rest In Eternal repose DJ CK!
