Pearl’s journey
I am a Kenyan national and previously completed my BSc in Actuarial Science from the University of Nairobi prior to joining the programme. I also attained the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) qualification while studying at Strathmore University in Kenya in 2012.
Prior to coming to Cambridge, I worked with KPMG East Africa for four and a half years within the Risk Consulting and Deal Advisory departments. I also worked with Equity Bank in 2008 under their Pre-University Leadership Programme.
I am currently working as an Investment Officer – Eastern and Southern Africa at BIO – the Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries in Kenya.
During my time on the programme, I participated in a project with London Stock Exchange Africa Advisory Group on developing local currency offshore bonds for Africa. I also helped organise the Cambridge Business in Africa Conference, Cambridge Africa Together Conference and Cambridge’s Inaugural MBA East Africa Trek.
I chose the Cambridge MFin as a platform to gain international exposure, expand my network on an international scale and build upon my financial skills. I found my time in Cambridge to be intellectually stimulating and I’m looking forward to reaping the benefits of the Cantab Network.
