NAIROBI, Kenya, July 28 – Linda Thomas-Greenfield has joined the Tatu City owner Rendevour’s board of directors.
From 2021 to 2025, she served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
Thomas-Greenfield selection, Frank Mosier, Rendeavour’s lead American shareholder and Founding Chairman, said will help its engagements with U.S. and African partners.
“Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield is one of the longest-serving champions of Africa in the U.S. government,” he noted.
“….and we are honored to have her unparalleled counsel on U.S. and African affairs as we build new cities across the continent.”
Rendeavour is the owner and developer of Tatu City, Kenya’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ); Alaro City, a partnership with the Lagos State Government in Nigeria’s Lekki Free Zone; and Jigna, a mixed-use development in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, among others.
Backed by American, New Zealand, Norwegian, and British investors, the company’s current development is valued at more than $5 billion, comprising 200 businesses, schools educating more than 6,000 students, and 15,000 mixed-income homes either occupied or under development.
Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield welcomed the opportunity, saying she has followed Rendeavour’s new cities in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo for more than a decade.
“Rendeavour’s achievements are extraordinary — from de-risking American and international investments and creating jobs and economic security, to bridging Africa’s infrastructure gap — all with private capital,” she said.
