Kenya’s outgoing UN Ambassador, Martin Kimani has been named the new Executive Director of New York University Center on International Cooperation (CIC), effective June 3, 2024.

While accepting the offer, Amb, Kimani said honored to join New York University Center on International Cooperation and its brilliant staff to build ambitious partnerships.

“I’m deeply honored to join New York University Center on International Cooperation and its brilliant staff to build ambitious partnerships that deliver real-world impact.” Said Amb Kimani.

Adding that: “I’m especially excited by the university’s world-class researchers. Sarah Cliffe has been an inspirational leader and I look forward to building on her legacy.

The New York University described Amb. Kimani as an accomplished diplomat and organizational leader noting that he will bring exceptional global peace, security, and development expertise to the institution.

“Martin Kimani brings many years of experience in international diplomacy, crisis prevention, and the links between peace, justice, equality, and inclusion at the highest level,” said Sarah Cliffe, the outgoing Executive Director of CIC.
