How Optiven Is Building a Legacy of Trust with Kenyans Abroad

George Wachiuri, the Chief Executive and Founder of Optiven, delivered a powerful message of inspiration and empowerment at the recently concluded Global Leadership Summit 2023 held in Nairobi.
Optiven’s story is one of resilience, trust-building, and visionary leadership, making it the go-to real estate partner for Kenyans living abroad who want to invest back home.
Under the leadership of CEO Dr. George Wachiuri, Optiven has transformed the diaspora investment landscape by combining deep local knowledge with a global outreach strategy.
Dr. Wachiuri’s personal journey-from losing his entire 10-year savings in a failed investment to founding Optiven-shapes the company’s unwavering commitment to investor security.
“No single person will ever lose money if they deal with us,” he affirms, a promise that resonates strongly with diaspora clients who have often been victims of fraudulent schemes5.
In 2023 and early 2025, Optiven undertook extensive global outreach, visiting over 21 cities across North America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.
This hands-on approach allows Optiven to build lasting relationships, understand diaspora aspirations, and provide tailored investment solutions.
Optiven has established a dedicated diaspora department trained through an 8-week “Diaspora Engagement Training” program, equipping staff with global etiquette and networking skills to better serve clients abroad.
This professionalism has earned Optiven multiple awards in 2024, including the Diaspora Focused Real Estate Brand and Most Trusted Land-Selling Company in East and Central Africa678.
Speaking, Optiven CEO George Wachiuri said that they offers a wide portfolio of value-added properties in urban, peri-urban, and coastal areas, designed to meet diverse diaspora investment goals-from immediate settlement to long-term capital appreciation.
He said that their projects come with clear title deeds, flexible payment plans, and essential amenities, ensuring peace of mind for investors34.
“Beyond real estate, Optiven channels 5% of profits through the Optiven Foundation to support social programs such as scholarships and mobility initiatives,” he said.
He added,
“Embarking on these diaspora trips marks an exciting new chapter for Optiven as we deepen our engagement with our valued diaspora investors. I am thrilled to personally connect with members of the diaspora community, listen to their aspirations, and share the many exciting investment opportunities that Optiven offers. Our mission is to ensure that every Kenyan, regardless of where they live, can own a piece of Kenya with confidence and ease.”
