Life and work

Gullet was born in Modogashe, Garissa, in 1959.[1] Orphaned at an early age, he was adopted and raised by a family in Mombasa. His adoptive father was a role model for him.[2]

Gullet received his basic education from Buxton Primary School before proceeding to Mombasa Technical.[1]

Gullet worked for Kenya External Telecommunications Company and the Kenya Post and Telecommunications between 1978 and 1984, and first became part of Kenya Red Cross Society as a medical Officer in 1985. After several postings in Kenya and abroad, he was seconded by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRCS) to Kenya in 2001.[3]

During his tenure, he transformed the Society from one that was facing multiple challenges, to a vibrant growing humanitarian organization, for which he was named "UN in Kenya Person of the Year" in 2007.[4]
