Empowering Business Leaders Through Strategic Connections

Join Kenya's premier network of business directors committed to growth through trust-based referrals, mentorship, and strategic partnerships.

Our Story

Building Africa's most trusted business network

The Directors Referral Network (DRN) was founded on a simple yet powerful principle: business leaders thrive when they support one another. In an increasingly competitive business landscape, we recognized that the most valuable resource isn't just capital or technologyโ€”it's trust-based relationships.

DRN emerged as a solution to connect business owners and professionals across Kenya and beyond, creating a platform where quality referrals, strategic partnerships, and mutual growth are not just encouragedโ€”they're the foundation of everything we do.

Our Operational Principle: 1:1000

One quality referral can lead to 1,000 opportunities. This principle drives every interaction, every meeting, and every relationship within DRN.

Today, DRN has grown to span across Kenya's 47 counties with active branches in major cities and a vision to become the premier global networking organization. Our members represent diverse sectors, united by their commitment to excellence, integrity, and collaborative growth.
