What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead quantitative research projects end-to-end, work closely with clients and teams, apply advanced statistical methods, and drive actionable business insights.

I am a senior research executive with deep experience designing and delivering quantitative research across banking, telecom and beverages sectors. I lead full research lifecycles from methodology design through data collection, quality control and analysis.

At BTC Group I oversee questionnaire design, sample definition, fieldwork monitoring and final dataset analysis to produce statistically rigorous results and actionable insights. I act as the primary liaison between clients and internal teams to ensure projects meet objectives and timelines.

Previously at Kantar I managed key client accounts and monthly trackers, coordinated field teams, reviewed data collection tools, and delivered KPI summaries and quarterly reports using CAPI and mobile research tools. I have also coordinated field operations and farmer-facing programmes with Bayer EA and Yara Kenya.

I am completing an MSc in Social Statistics at the University of Nairobi and bring strong analytical, project management, client servicing and tool-scripting skills to roles that require rigorous quantitative methods and practical, business-aligned recommendations.
