BURN manufactures and distributes modern cookstoves (biomass, liquid fuel, electric) across 10 African countries from a solar-powered facility in Kenya, producing over 200,000 units monthly. The hiring mix—sales and support roles dominating, with emerging policy and government relations leadership—reveals a company transitioning from pure manufacturing to market-building and regulatory navigation. Active projects around policy forums, public-private partnerships, and LPG ecosystem mapping, paired with pain points on regulatory barriers and distribution expansion, show BURN treating policy as a core business function, not an afterthought.
