In 2019, she received another presidential decoration, the Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear, from H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta for her contribution to the growth of Kenya’s energy sector.

Between July 2015 and February 2016, Mrs. Miano was appointed to hold brief as Human Resource and Administration Director in addition to her role of Company Secretary and Legal Affairs Director.

This is a period she describes as a defining moment in her career, especially when it comes to working with people.

Mrs. Miano has been a member of St. Paul’s University Council since 2010 where she chaired the Finance and General Purposes Committee from 2013 to 2016.

She has also served in the Finance Committee of the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK). In November 2019, she was appointed to the Board of Global Compact Network, Kenya.

The same year, she was named among the Top 100 Women CEOs in Africa by Reset Global People in partnership with Pulse and Avance Media.

Mrs. Miano has recently joined the World Bank Group’s Advisory Council on Gender and Development.

Miano who is the pioneer of KenGen’s own Pink Energy Initiative- a gender inclusion based program at the company, will join an elaborate list made up of representatives from both government and the private sector.

The advisory council plays a critical role in measuring the progress and constrains of gender equality.

During her tenure as CEO, Mrs. Miano has led KenGen’s diversification agenda under the Good-2-Great transformative strategy.

During her tenure, Kengen has been able to make major successful milestone, banking different awards including: Clean Energy Project of the Year by EAPIC, St John Ambulance Kenya First Aid Challenge, Best in Corporate First Aid, Africa Public Service Awards, Runner Up – Rethinking Innovation in Manufacturing 2018, Best Practice in Board Diversity Award by NSE, Public Sector Legal Department of the Year 2019, 1st Runner Up and East Africa’s Best Sustainable Power Producer- Capital Finance International Awards 2019 among many others.

This has seen KenGen venture into the African market offering renewable energy solutions most notably in the horn of Africa where the company is currently implementing two large geothermal development projects.

“I don’t take this position for granted. I value the opportunity because it is significant but I really thank God.

It’s also a testament that hard work, qualifications, competence, confidence do not go unnoticed. I started working in the energy sector as an assistant legal officer, the lowest position possible, so I rose through the ranks.

It is also a testament that one should be ready to walk through the whole system patiently, diligently because eventually it lands you where you should be,” she once said in an interview.

Mrs. Miano is married with two children. She enjoys spending her free time reading, travelling and watching plays and sometimes knitting.

She understands that the big role comes with a lot of pressure. But she is optimistic that the values that have seen her to top position and God, will also see her get good results.
