This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Linet Ayuko

She has participated in numerous national and international rallies, including the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally, and has over 18 years of professional experience in project and change management.

Early Life and Education

Linet Ayuko was born to Mrs. Rose Anindo Osiako and the late Charles Ernest Osiako. She is the second-born in a family of girls. Following her father's fatal road accident in 1991, she developed a fear of cars. Inspired by her mother's confidence and skill behind the wheel, Ayuko overcame her phobia through exposure to car maintenance and time spent at local mechanics during her childhood.

She holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Project Planning and Management at the University of Nairobi.

Career in Project Management

Ayuko has worked at the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) since 2007. She currently serves as a Project Research Planning and Design Officer, leading national infrastructure projects, feasibility studies, change management, budgeting, and regulatory compliance. Her contributions include:

Leading the development of KPC’s Company-Wide Budget for FY 2024/25
Playing a key role in high-impact projects such as the Command and Control Center and Western Kenya Flow Rate Enhancement (Ksh 5.2 billion)
Formulating the Organization Change Management Strategy
Contributing to policy review under the Ministry of Transport and Roads Kenya

She is a Project Management Professional (PMP) certified by the Project Management Institute and a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner.

Rally Career

Ayuko began her motorsport journey in 2010 as a safety marshal and transitioned into co-driving in 2011. In 2013, she won the Specially Prepared Vehicles (SPV) category with George Njoroge. She has since competed in more than a dozen official rallies in Kenya and internationally.

In 2023, Ayuko participated in the WRC Safari Rally alongside Pauline Sheghu, finishing 13th overall in the Kenya National Rally Championship category. Their team was supported by the Kenyan government's Talanta Hela program. In 2024, she co-drove for Rajveer Thethy at the Nakuru Rally, bringing experience and mentorship to the young driver.

Her official co-driver profile and event history is publicly listed on [EWRC Results](https://www.ewrc-results.com/coprofile/40966-linet-ayuko/).

Advocacy and Board Memberships

Ayuko actively advocates for the empowerment of women in motorsport, citing challenges such as limited corporate sponsorships and systemic barriers. She is committed to mentoring young women interested in rallying and project management.
