Kenya’s Economy & The AI Revolution - Phares Kariuki | Midnight Coffee Run (E002)

Midnight Coffee Run - Each episode in a car, late-night coffee, and unfiltered conversations with a guest riding shotgun. Think Coffee Pump Podcast, but with more horsepower. On E002 of Midnight Coffee Run, I pick up Phares Kariuki, a good friend and a colleague in the ICT industry in Kenya. Phares is one of the CLOUD computing gurus in Kenya with an impressive 19-year journey shaping the cloud landscape in Africa. He’s been at the forefront of pioneering some of the earliest cloud platforms on the continent, making him a true visionary in the field. In this episode, we catch up on the economy in Kenya, foreign investments, the new wave of Ai, and much much more.
