Yator Vincent Cheruiyot – Professional Profile
Yator Vincent Cheruiyot is a Kenyan business executive, real estate entrepreneur, and digital strategist recognized for bridging financial discipline, civil construction, and technology-driven enterprise. Born in Kaptiony Village, Baringo County in 1989, and raised and brewed in Mogotio and Nakuru (Kiamunyi, Olive Inn), he has built a distinguished career by combining fiscal rigor with operational innovation to scale businesses across Kenya's property, civil engineering, and digital sectors.
Vincent holds a Bachelor of Commerce (BCOM) in Accounting from Egerton University, an MBA in Accounting from Kenyatta University, and is a certified CPA(K) professional—a rigorous academic and professional foundation that defines his strategic approach to corporate governance, project risk management, and capital allocation.
His career started at Xplico Insurance, where cross-functional exposure across accounting, underwriting, and marketing provided an early, multidisciplinary understanding of financial risk, client acquisition, and operational systems. He later transitioned to Erdemann Properties as Payroll Manager and Property Manager, managing complex financial operations while concurrently overseeing tenant relations, rent collection infrastructure, and facility operations. This hands-on experience in managing multi-unit residential developments served as the direct catalyst for his pivot into full-scale real estate and construction entrepreneurship.
Today, Vincent serves as the Chief Executive Officer across three flagship companies:
Vector Afriq Design and Build: An NCA-certified construction firm delivering residential, commercial, and civil infrastructure projects. Under his leadership, the firm has expanded its execution capabilities into site preparation, structural engineering, and major road works, ensuring high standards of structural integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Vector Afriq Properties & PropertyFinder.ke: The real estate and proptech arm where Vincent drives platform strategy, digital transformation, and market penetration. He has successfully positioned PropertyFinder.ke as a technology-forward portal for property discovery, land acquisition, and real estate investment across Kenya.
Expanding his footprint in East Africa’s technology ecosystem, Vincent also serves as a Board Director at Enovic Group, the technology firm behind MzigoConnect—a logistics marketplace streamlining regional freight and distribution. This role reflects his broader focus on building scalable tech platforms that solve complex real-world supply chain challenges.
A specialist in performance digital marketing and search engine optimization (SEO), Vincent combines technical product positioning with targeted content marketing strategies. His dual expertise in corporate finance and digital growth enables him to optimize client acquisition costs, build strong brand authority, and drive sustainable equity across his business portfolio.
Outside the boardroom, Vincent is an active football and futsal player—a lifelong passion that reinforces his commitment to discipline, tactical execution, and collaborative leadership.
Moving forward, Vincent remains focused on scaling PropertyFinder.ke into East Africa's premier proptech ecosystem, expanding Vector Afriq Design and Build’s civil works footprint, and continuing to pioneer the intersection of construction, real estate, and digital technology in Kenya
