Safaricom’s chief financial services officer, Esther Waititu, will leave the company at the end of July, becoming the third senior executive to exit Kenya’s largest telecommunications company in five months.
“I wish to announce that Esther Waititu, our chief financial services officer, will be leaving Safaricom to pursue other opportunities,” Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa said in an internal email to employees seen by TechCabal.
Waititu’s last day will be July 31, according to the email. Safaricom has appointed Boniface Mungania, its Director of Public Sector Digital Transformation, as interim chief financial services officer.
The departure marks another leadership change at the executive level overseeing Safaricom’s financial services ambitions. In late March, Sitoyo Lopokoiyit stepped down as managing director of M-PESA Africa, while chief business development and strategy officer Michael Mutiga is leaving to become CEO of Stanbic Bank Kenya and South Sudan from August 1.
