Kenya Airways board has made good its pledge of hiring an expatriate to turnaround recovering national carrier, Kenya Airways. The board said yesterday it has settled on Poland national, Sebastian Mikosz, as the best candidate among the four it had shortlisted for the hot seat. In December 2016, the board engaged the services of an international search firm, Spencer Stuart, to assist in identifying his successor. He is a former president and CEO of LOT Polish Airline, one of the oldest airlines in the world. The board was keen to get an expatriate “with a turnaround experience in the sector” according to Joseph sentiments in November last year.
