He also represented Caltex Kenya in the brand awareness programs relating to OEM’s in Japan. With the support from Caltex head office, he ran massive training programs for lubricant users i.e. truckers, bus operators, matatu operators, railroad and industrial lubricants. It was through this effort that Caltex Delo, and in particular Delo 6200 Oil, became the most popular brand in East Africa. In 1992, he became the General Manager and Director of Caltex Kenya. In the year 2000, he was further assigned with another challenge as the County Manager of Caltex Tanzania, a lubricant company which he started from scratch and grew it to become a market leader.
