Polycarp Igathe has landed another prime corporate job, again, and is rejoining his former employer Vivo Energy as the Executive Vice President in charge of sales across the oil marketing company's operations in Africa.

He is expected to assume the newly created position at Vivo on September 1, leaving his current job as managing director Equity Bank Kenya, where he was reporting to the Group’s chief executive James Mwangi. He had been tipped to eventually succeed the chief executive who is synonymous with Equity Bank.
