Radio Africa Group Appoints New CEO After Patrick Quarcoo Exit

Radio Africa Group has appointed Martin Khafafa as the company's new Chief Executive Officer.

Khafafa's appointment was made on Wednesday, July 24, by the Radio Africa Group Board of Trustees.

Before his appointment, the new Radio Africa Group CEO was serving as the media company's Chief Operating Officer.

Khafafa will now take over from Patrick Quarcoo who announced his exit from the media house on June 24 after 24 years of service.

Quarcoo, who is the founder of the media firm, noted that it was not an easy decision for him to leave the Radio Africa Group, even as he thanked the staff for their hard work, dedication, and support to the company over the years.

“When I started Radio Africa Group in 2000, my vision was to create a platform that could inform, inspire, and connect people across Kenya and the continent. Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and support, we have grown from a single-frequency radio station to a thriving group of six influential stations with over 40 transmitters across Kenya, with an expansion into Nigeria, a newspaper, and a significant digital presence,” Quarcoo stated.

He further affirmed that he was confident that the new leadership would drive changes in the media firm with the same commitment they have held before.

“I am confident that the new leadership team will drive the needed changes with the same passion and commitment that we have always upheld. They are well-equipped to take the company forward, leveraging our strong foundation to achieve even greater success,” remarked Quarcoo.
