Warren Ondanje is a recognised leader in Africa’s electric mobility transition, working at the intersection of responsible business, policy, and ecosystem building. He is the Managing Director of the Africa E-Mobility Alliance (AfEMA) and a frequent speaker and media contributor on sustainable transport and clean energy, and was named to the Top 40 Under 40 Men in Kenya – 2025 by Business Daily Africa.
Warren also co-leads Africa E-Mobility Week (AEW), the continent’s flagship e-mobility convening. Since its inception, AEW has grown into a trusted platform for policy dialogue, market activation, and cross-sector collaboration, now heading into its 4th Edition in 2026.
A strong advocate for evidence-based decision-making, Warren has overseen the development of AfEMA’s E-Mobility Data Portal and frequently contributes to the Africa Electric Mobility Status Report, providing stakeholders with reliable, up-to-date insights on markets, policies, and investment trends across the continent.
Previously at ARC Ride Kenya, Warren helped build operational teams, supported early electric motorcycle pilots, developed scalable deployment roadmaps, and advanced duty-reduction initiatives through local assembly. He also serves as Vice Chairperson of Kenya’s E-Mobility Standards Committee and contributes to continental standardisation through his e-mobility technical committee membership in the African Electrotechnical Standardisation Commission, helping shape the frameworks guiding Africa’s e-mobility future.
A frequent speaker and media contributor, Warren’s insights have featured across regional and international platforms, including broadcast and digital media, where he consistently reinforces one message: Africa is not catching up on e-mobility—it is actively shaping its own transition.
Whether building institutions, influencing policy, or curating trusted data, Warren’s approach is clear and deliberate: don’t wait for change, create it.
