Nairobi Business Pulse

Culture Energetic and entrepreneurial. Tech hub of East Africa ("Silicon Savannah").
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. The tech scene is very vibrant and mobile-first. Personal relationships are vital; take a few minutes for "Small Talk" before jumping into business. Be patient with potential internet stability and have a backup messaging option ready.

Washington D.C. Business Pulse

Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
