Paul Muthaura, a former Capital Markets Authority (CMA) chief executive, has been appointed CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce Kenya (AmCham Kenya), one of the country’s most influential business lobby groups, as Kenya seeks to attract more US investment into technology, digital infrastructure and clean energy.
AmCham Kenya represents American companies operating in the country and works with policymakers on issues ranging from taxation and market access to data governance, trade policy and the broader investment environment. The organisation has become a key voice in discussions affecting foreign investors and the private sector.
Muthaura’s appointment comes as Kenya strengthens its position as a regional hub for multinational companies with businesses pushing for greater policy certainty around digital regulation, cross-border trade, climate finance and investment rules.
He joins from the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI), where he served as CEO and led efforts to develop carbon-market and climate-finance frameworks across the continent. He previously served as CEO of the CMA, overseeing reforms for broadening investor participation, strengthening market oversight and supporting financial innovation.
