The convergence director was honoured for serving Vision Group as its first managing director.

$18 million (Sh1.85 billion) while annual profits amounted to more that $2 million (Sh206.5 million).
Pike was the agency's editor-in-chief and managing director from
1986 to 2006, making it one of the leading and most profitable newspapers in Uganda.
He left for Kenya to start The Star in 2007.
