Standard Group Names Dr. Naim Bilal Yaseen as New CEO

Effective November 1, 2026, Yaseen replaces an earlier plan to appoint acting editor-in-chief John Bundotich, following a competitive board process.

His background includes leading Kenya Broadcasting Corporation and judiciary communications, backed by a PhD, MBA, law degree, and High Court advocacy.

The board expects him to boost digital and commercial performance amid financial pressures like past losses and leadership turnover since 2018, as the company runs The Standard newspaper, TV, radio, and digital platforms.
