Nzola Miranda has taken over as the new MultiChoice Kenya managing director from Nancy Matimu who resigned and left to join the Serrari Group - something MultiChoice said isn't happening when asked about the executive change a month ago.
The exit of Nancy Matimu and appointment of Nzola Miranda is exactly what MultiChoice insiders in March said would happen.
When TVwithThinus asked MultiChoice in late March about the insider news that the Kenya managing director is leaving at the end of April and who she is being replaced with, a MultiChoice spokesperson said in response to the media query that MultiChoice "doesn't have any African moves".
Now Nzola Miranda is heading up MultiChoice Kenya's business in the East African country who was the MultiChoice Ethiopia chief customer officer for the past two years.
Nzola Miranda also previously worked at Puma Energy as well as Samsung Electronics, The Coca-Cola Company and General Electric.
"After an exciting season at MultiChoice Group leading an exceptional business in Kenya, it is time to pass on the baton to my colleague and friend Nzola Miranda who takes over the leadership mantle as the MultiChoice Kenya managing director," Nancy Matimu said.
MultiChoice Kenya did a shocking second price hike of up to 10% for DStv and GOtv subscribers in the country last month, just 7 months after the last price hike, angering DStv subscribers who said that they're leaving DStv and will be switching to other video streaming services.
