The Kingdom Network founder, Dr. Edwin Musiime has received a PhD in leadership and management from Logos University in Florida, USA, after three years of study.
Musiime’s research and contribution centered on the theme: “Next-Level Thinking in Leadership and Management for East Africa’s Growth and Development.” This paradigm shift reflects the heart of The Kingdom Network’s mission to influence nations through godly leadership, values-driven innovation, and faith-based excellence in business and governance.
As part of this, a transformational book has also been published, capturing innovative models and insights on leadership for individual, institutional, and national progress in the 21st century. The book, inspired by years of entrepreneurial leadership and deep spiritual conviction, offers a practical tool for both church-based and marketplace leaders seeking to influence systems for the glory of God.
The conferral ceremony was led by Dr. Ron Johnson, Chancellor of Logos University, and Dr. David Molapo, President of the I CAN Institute—both globally respected voices in leadership and personal transformation. The event brought together diplomats, business and faith leaders, and changemakers from across the continent—an embodiment of the Kingdom impact Musiime continues to champion.
For over two decades, Dr. Musiime has pioneered platforms that bridge the gap between faith and leadership. Through The Kingdom Network and Leadershift, he has mentored and mobilized leaders across Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and beyond, equipping them to integrate Christian values with entrepreneurial excellence and national transformation.
He is also the founder of The Influence, one of Africa’s leading platforms empowering Christians in business and leadership. This annual summit has gathered hundreds of faith-driven entrepreneurs and leaders to be equipped with tools, inspiration, and networks to influence culture and shift economies for Christ.
As Chairman of the Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs, he has spent over a decade empowering the next generation of faith-led business leaders, raising hundreds of visionary entrepreneurs who are scaling their businesses with integrity and Kingdom purpose. In his capacity as a board member of Green Economy East Africa, Musiime also advocates for faith-driven sustainability and climate-conscious enterprise innovation.
He currently serves as Chairman of River Group Africa, an investment and real estate firm that builds African-owned ventures rooted in global excellence and spiritual values.
He also unveiled plans to establish a Leadership and Innovation Centre—a Kingdom-aligned platform under The Kingdom Network dedicated to mentoring and equipping purpose-driven leaders across spheres for next-level impact.
Dr. Musiime is also an executive board member of The Influence Magazine, a premier continental publication that features Africa’s most impactful voices in business, faith, innovation, leadership, and nation-building. The magazine serves as a prophetic media platform for shaping values-based narratives that elevate Christian influence across all mountains of society.
Both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Molapo hailed Dr. Musiime as a leader of uncommon integrity and a catalytic voice for transformational leadership across Africa.
As The Kingdom Network and Leadershift community celebrate this moment, it stands as more than a personal milestone. It is a clarion call to the body of Christ to rise, lead, and influence with boldness, wisdom, and spiritual authority.
Dr. Musiime now stands among Africa’s most trusted thought leaders, advancing a vision of authentic, faith-rooted, and impactful leadership that transforms people, systems, and nations for the glory of God.
