What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead enterprise business growth across technology and cybersecurity, own key accounts, build strong channel partnerships, and run the full sales cycle with C-suite engagement, value-based proposals, and measurable revenue impact.

I’m a results-driven business development and key account management professional with 13+ years of experience driving revenue growth across competitive B2B markets. I lead end-to-end enterprise sales—building qualified pipeline, engaging C-suite stakeholders, and turning opportunities into long-term, profitable partnerships.

In my recent roles, I grew enterprise revenue from KES 20M to KES 66M within 18 months through strategic account expansion and channel optimization, expanded channel partner networks from 90 to 160 active partners, and secured high-value public sector accounts like a 2,000-user Judiciary opportunity. I also bring hands-on consultative selling across cybersecurity and ICT solutions, supported by CRM, forecasting, tender/RFQ proposal development, negotiation, and deal closure—while partnering with technical teams to ensure delivery and post-sales support.
