CEO, Enda Athletic Limited
A major sports fan and development practitioner, Navalayo Osembo started a sports academy in Bungoma, Western Kenya. The Academy gave sports proteges from disadvantaged backgrounds access to much-needed professional training without compromising their education. While trying to figure out the best way to maximize social impact in Kenya through sports, Navalayo teamed up with her co-founder to create "Enda", a made-in-Kenya running shoe brand that creates jobs, invests in local communities and spurs economic development through exports.
Navalayo's education background is law, accounting and international development. She is passionate about small businesses and their potential to transform Africa's economy.
