PRWEB – StratLink Global LLC, an international business advisory firm, has
chosen Nairobi to be the focus city, and host of, its new African regional
office as it expands its global footprint. The launch, more than a year in the

continent; ending with the company concluding that Nairobi was the best choice
for its new venture in the region.
“We’re very excited to be in Kenya, and in Nairobi
in particular,” said Konstantin Makarov, Director, StratLink Global –
