Hi, I am

Robert Kamaru

An entrepreneur in payments, e-commerce, and holistic outdoor fitness; a self-taught e-commerce and digital marketing consultant; and a counseling psychologist in training.

About Me

I am a forward-thinking entrepreneur with exceptional initiative and a deep understanding of what it takes to build a successful business from the ground up. With years of progressive business experience and a history of going above and beyond to turn dreams into reality, I previously served as the Founding Chief Executive Officer at Escrow Kenya, and I currently serve as the Managing Director at Outdoorer.

I am passionate about helping individuals unlock higher versions of themselves, and that’s precisely what my team offers through experiential hiking and mountaineering programs at Outdoorer. I aspire to help more people achieve this in various programs that cater to them where they are in life, which is why I am currently training as a counseling psychologist.

If you found this site by chance, this is where I share my thoughts on everyday topics [though I haven’t posted since 2018]. Connect with me on social media at @robertontrails to catch up with my latest tidbits.
