- NSE congratulates Carole Kariuki on joining the Equity Bank Kenya Board.
- Kariuki has led KEPSA since 2010.
- NSE says her leadership will strengthen Equity Bank.
The Board of the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) PLC has congratulated Carole Kariuki following her appointment as an independent non-executive director to the Equity Bank Kenya Board.
The NSE described Kariuki as an exemplary leader whose strategic insight and unwavering commitment to advancing Kenya’s private sector have left a lasting impact on the regional business community. “The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) extends its heartfelt congratulations to our Board Member, Ms. Carole Kariuki, on her appointment to the Equity Bank Kenya Board.”
Kariuki has served as the CEO of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) since January 2010. Her transition to the Equity Bank Kenya Board marks another milestone in a distinguished career spanning over two decades of private sector management and policy advocacy.
Under Kariuki’s stewardship since 2010, KEPSA has evolved from a relatively obscure business association into one of the most influential private sector apex bodies in Africa. She has been instrumental in bridging the gap between the private sector, government, and international development partners to improve Kenya’s ease of doing business.
“Carole’s distinguished leadership, strategic insights, and unwavering commitment to advancing Kenya’s private sector have made a lasting impact across the business community. We are proud to have her serve on the NSE Board, where her expertise continues to strengthen our vision of developing vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable markets,” NSE stated.

Before taking the helm at KEPSA, Kariuki built a diverse professional portfolio. Her early career included a tenure at Barclays Bank of Kenya (now Absa Bank Kenya), a role as an Assistant Project Manager at Nairobi Chapel, and work as a Research Associate at the Sagamore Institute for Public Policy Research in Indianapolis, USA. She also served as a Program Manager at KEPSA from 2005 to 2009 before being promoted to CEO.
Kariuki holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration (MPA) and International Affairs from Bowling Green State University (USA), and a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Sociology from the University of Nairobi (UoN). She has also completed various advanced professional certifications in leadership, stakeholder engagement, and private sector development.
Her extensive contributions to national development have earned her several prestigious accolades, including the presidential award of Elder of the Order of the Burning Spear (EBS). In addition to her new role at Equity Bank, she serves on several corporate and advisory boards, including her role as an Advisory Council Member for the Africa Business Council.
“We congratulate her on this well-deserved appointment and wish her every success as she takes on this important new role. We are confident that her leadership will make a significant contribution to Equity Bank while continuing to inspire excellence across the institutions she serves,” the NSE added.
