Glovo Kenya taps Caroline Mutuku as General Manager

Glovo, a delivery company, has appointed Caroline Mutuku as general manager for Glovo Kenya, as the company seeks to capitalize on new business strategies in a competitive market.

She succeeds Pricilla Muhiu, who joined Glovo in 2019 to lead the company’s marketing efforts in Africa before being named general manager of the company in Kenya in 2020.

Ms Mutuku brings a wealth of knowledge in strategy, execution, and digital to the company, allowing it to maintain its position as Kenya’s fastest-growing multi-category platform.“I am delighted to be taking on this role as the General Manager for Glovo Kenya and continue the good work that my peers have done. I am excited to incorporate innovative and fresh ideas to take Glovo to the next level in the market. I am quite optimistic about the very vibrant e-commerce sector in Kenya in the coming years,” said Ms Mutuku.

Her appointment comes at a time when online delivery companies, including Jumia, are diversifying the market with new business strategies.

Ms Mutuku was previously the general manager of a tech start-up focused on revolutionizing mass transportation in Kenya.

She also has six years of management consulting experience with McKinsey & Co., where she was tasked with developing strategies, facilitating execution, and building digital capabilities for African banks and financial regulators.

She is an expert at problem-solving with technology, which has resulted in significant growth and long-term impact for the stakeholders involved.

In Kenya, she has also worked in the banking sector for companies such as Standard Chartered and Equity Bank.
