Kenyan businessman and co-founder of the One Africa Media group of companies, Carey Eaton, has passed away in tragic circumstances after an armed robbery at a friend’s home in Nairobi in the early hours of this morning.
Carey Eaton was a well respected leader and mentor; and was one of the inspirational pioneers of the technology revolution happening across Africa. Carey is survived by his wife and kids.
Techies across Africa join One Africa Media to mourn this great loss.
Unbelievably sad (and angry) to hear of @careyeaton dying today, one of the true sparks of genius in Kenya’s tech ecosystem

"The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting." Libations all around for @careyeaton. What a captain he was.
