They say that age is just a number and that saying really rings true when you meet with Evelyn Nyarega. A proud Kenyan/British citizen, adventurous globetrotter to boot, and somebody that has so much to still to achieve, it won’t surprise to discover that, even at 53, she is always on the go and achieving pretty much all that she sets her mind to.

The Woman. The Kenyan legend!

So, who is this dynamic go-getter you may ask? Permit us to enlighten you. Evelyn is the Head of Customer Service and Compliance for TSG. A company that has two arms, Real Estate and Hospitality. The latter is where Evelyn has the most work and influence. Other than the role she already holds, most recently she has been given an additional responsibility as the Project Liaison for a new multi-million project. The POD surrounding a co-working space, the new future of workspace which will be one of its kind in Africa and the Middle East in partnership with IWG. Talk about responsibility!

You would assume that all that would be enough responsibility for a mere mortal to take on, but not for Evelyn. She is also a non-executive board member of a leading Kenyan advertising agency (Big Little). Evelyn is awaiting confirmation to two other board appointments which at this stage she is giving consideration.

Of all this Evelyn is quite pragmatic when she tells us, “It's all coming around so quickly, but I'm also trying to keep it to a maximum of two because I'm still in very active employment. I can’t let all of this overwhelm me and dominate my time at the other companies. I also have lots of important things on my plate, the most important of which is completing my Nexford MBA.”
