Geoffrey Monari Appointed As New HELB CEO

The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has appointed Geoffrey Monari as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective March 13, 2025.
Monari brings over 15 years of experience in senior management within the higher education financing sector.
Prior to this appointment, he served as the founding CEO of the Universities Fund since 2020, where he played a key role in shaping university financing policies and frameworks.
His leadership journey at HELB is not new; between 2016 and 2020, Monari served as the Chief Operations Officer (COO), spearheading transformative initiatives in student lending, debt management, resource mobilization and stakeholder engagement.
His efforts contributed significantly to strengthening HELB’s financial sustainability and enhancing partnerships.
He holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Commerce degree, alongside a Senior Management Leadership Programme certificate.
Currently, he is pursuing the Global CEO Africa Programme at Strathmore Business School.
The HELB Board expressed confidence in Monari’s leadership, citing his expertise and strategic vision as instrumental in advancing the institution’s mandate.
“Monari’s vast experience, leadership acumen, and deep understanding of higher education financing will provide the vision necessary to propel HELB to new heights, ensuring that we continue serving our stakeholders with excellence and integrity,” the Board stated.
Monari’s appointment comes at a crucial time as HELB seeks to enhance access to education financing, streamline loan disbursement and reinforce repayment structures to support sustainable funding for students across the country.
