Galib Virani Email and Phone Number
I spent 30 years from London *living where I work* and am now back in East Africa *working where I live*, re-living my childhood memories through the eyes of my three young children. We transitioned back to Kenya during 2015 to 2018, where I have joined the family business SuperCosmetics (Specialty Beauty) and have co-founded First Africa Energy Technologies, a regional indigenous oil and gas services company.I believe Corporate Finance (Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein 1998-2004) is at the heart of Strategy and decision making. Afren (2005-2014) was founded with a Vision to accelerate Africa's emergence as an oil producing continent. The model combined strong technical capacity and access to finance with local asset ownership (National Government and local indigenous companies). I was part of the Team that scaled-up the company, from start-up to one of the largest independent producers in Sub-Saharan Africa; by 2014 the company had revenues and cash flows of US$1.7BB and US$1.2BB respectively, with a FTSE 250 listing (MV>$2.8BB). Importantly, Afren was a major local content contributor and created thousands of jobs directly and indirectly. Following a governance issue and falling oil price, Afren ended in Administration during 2015. I am passionate about the opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa to create lasting impact. SuperCosmetics has a Mission to Inspire Beauty. First Africa Energy Technologies has a Mission to spearhead the development of the indigenous services sector. I love golf, skiing, travelling, spending quality time with my family, continuous personal development and reading inspirational literature. I sit on the Board of the Khayaal Theatre Company (using theatre to foster greater intercultural and interfaith dialogue) and access to quality education (Friends of the Citizens Foundation) and life skills in the slum communities (East Africa Character Development Trust) is close to my heart.
