He reportedly vanished after leaving his luxury hotel in Kenya, according to The Times.
The 58-year-old was on a business trip with a colleague for a conference at the JW Marriott hotel.
He arrived there on Sunday and was last seen around 11.15am on Monday.
His colleague reported him missing Monday evening after being unable to reach him on his mobile phone at 6pm.
By 7pm, the hotel advised that the police were contacted sparking a search involving hotel security and management as well as officers from the Parklands police station.
Detectives are reported to have since taken over the case and have visited local bars and hotels in the Westlands district for information relating to Campbell.
A foreign office spokesman told The Times: “We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Kenya and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Interpol have been contacted by investigators to help access the businessman’s phone records to find out who he was in contact with before he went missing.
Officers have so far been given the statements of at least five people from the hotel including security guards and staff to help with the investigation.
Campbell was scheduled to meet with officials from the UK, US, and several African countries for a three-day conference about markets for new products.
His Fico bio states that ht is based in the London office and is “responsible for global regulatory and compliance product management within the FICO Scores team.”
He joined the company in 2014 from Experian UK and has over 25 years of experience in “data management and customer identity and verification solutions.”
The Sun has contacted Fico and the FCDO for comment.
