KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At MGAS Limited, I lead regional operations and strategic planning, connecting business analysis with field execution. I introduced task prioritisation systems across depots that contributed to a 150% rise in new customer acquisition.
I also restructured analytics and reporting frameworks and rolled out customer segmentation and sales performance strategies. I manage regional P&L ownership and oversee depot managers and frontline teams.
Previously, as Depot Operations Manager at MGAS Limited, I established the Kitengela depot from the ground up and designed SOPs to standardise daily workflows. I managed a team of over 80 staff and maintained budget ownership and inventory control.
At Cytonn Investments Limited, I oversaw a team of 40+ financial advisors and designed lead-generation strategies. Earlier, as a Financial Advisor, I created customised financial plans across Real Estate, Private Equity and Structured Products.
