Talent 254 was founded to realize the potential of the landmark German-Kenyan partnership of 2024. Our team is defined by firsthand experience: a deep understanding gained from living in Kenya, personal knowledge of international work and moves, and strong ties to Germany’s hospitality industry. We began by building a successful talent pipeline in hospitality, where our model's success quickly led to a natural expansion into healthcare and tech. Today, we leverage this unique, dual-country expertise to create a seamless and supportive pathway for Kenyan professionals to build fulfilling careers in Germany.
