About
Murray grew up in rural Kenya amidst the optimism of a newly independent country blended with the realities of farming in Africa. CDC, and some of their Kenya success stories, made an early impression on him. A natural appetite for fixing things led to a first career in engineering where Murray quickly found himself working on a problematic gold mine in Papua New Guinea and then building what remains as Kenya’s largest hydro-electric scheme. The common challenge and success factor was people. Following an MBA at London Business School, the opportunity to work with people and capital led to a very enjoyable 13 year career at 3i, but outside of Africa. So when the opportunity to join CDC en route to becoming Actis presented itself back in 2001 Murray could not say no.
