Globally, over 70% of family-owned businesses are moving to professional management to sustain growth and compete internationally. Kenya’s Optiven Group is the latest to take this step, announcing a transition from a family-led model to professional governance and global expansion.
The 26-year-old real estate and investment firm says the move marks a new phase of corporate maturity, with stronger leadership and accountability at the heart of its 2026–2030 strategy.
"For 26 years, Optiven has been run as a family business. Now it is time to graduate into a bigger institution managed by professionals," said Founder and CEO Dr. George Wachiuri.
Already operating in the US, UK, and several African countries, Optiven now plans a physical presence abroad to scale its Kenyan-born brand globally.
"We have the systems, the people, the ideas, and the talent to export globally," Dr. Wachiuri added.
