kosi, former managing director of Paramount Africa and now managing director of Google Africa, said in a statement.  Having worked alongside him through years of international growth and transformation, I saw firsthand his rare ability to combine sharp commercial instinct and strategic vision with genuine warmth, humanity and optimism.

 He built lasting trust, inspired those around him to think bigger and always made time for people. His impact on the global media industry is undeniable, but for those fortunate enough to have known and worked with him, his warmth, generosity and spirit will be just as enduring.
