What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic professional with over 15 years of cross-industry expertise in media production, strategic marketing, business operations, and team leadership. My career has been marked by a proven ability to drive revenue growth, optimize operational efficiency, and deliver high-impact communication strategies. I excel at bridging creative vision with business acumen to achieve organizational goals.

In my current role as Manager of Operations at AutoQuip Kings LTD, I spearhead full-cycle operations for an automotive service center, managing a team of over 12 staff and an annual inventory exceeding Ksh 18M. My strategic initiatives have led to a remarkable 30% revenue growth and a 15% reduction in operational costs. Previously, as Regional Coordinator for East Africa at Kwese TV, I played a pivotal role in launching the region's #1-rated TV channel, achieving significant viewer engagement and revenue growth through data-driven marketing strategies.
