Nairobi Mobile Spares Dealer Dama Awarded Business Icon of the Year

Nairobi, Kenya – Local entrepreneur and mobile phone parts supplier Dama has been named Business Icon of the Year at the annual Kenyan Business Excellence Awards.

Dama, who founded and operates Dama Mobile Spares in Nairobi’s bustling tech district, was recognized for her innovative approach to business and significant contributions to Kenya’s growing mobile technology sector.

Starting with a small shop just five years ago, Dama has rapidly expanded her operation to become one of the largest suppliers of mobile phone components and repair parts in East Africa. Her business now employs over 50 people and serves thousands of mobile repair shops across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

“This award is a testament to the hard work of my entire team,” Dama said in her acceptance speech. “We’ve focused on providing quality parts, excellent customer service, and adapting quickly to new phone models entering the market.”

Judges cited Dama’s innovative inventory management system and her efforts to provide technical training to young Kenyans entering the mobile repair industry as key factors in their decision.

The Business Icon of the Year award recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, and community impact. Previous winners include leaders in Kenya’s technology, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.

Industry analysts say this recognition highlights the growing importance of mobile technology businesses in Kenya’s economy. With smartphone adoption continuing to rise across East Africa, entrepreneurs like Dama are playing a crucial role in supporting the region’s digital transformation.
