What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that leverages my expertise in cross-cultural communications and program management, preferably in a dynamic organization that values diversity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in risk and compliance, communications, marketing, and event management. Currently serving as a Program Officer at the Max Foundation, I specialize in planning, implementing, and monitoring patient support programs across French West Africa. My expertise includes developing new initiatives, strengthening existing programs, and ensuring compliance with organizational procedures.

Prior to my current role, I worked as an Operations Manager at Vuka Group, where I successfully planned and executed events, managed project timelines, and improved operational efficiency. My experience also includes roles in risk and compliance at Refinitiv, where I focused on due diligence, KYC procedures, and data processing for World-Check.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Brand Innovation from VEGA School of Brand Leadership and a Bachelor's degree in Communications with a focus on Marketing and Public Relations. I am proficient in multiple software tools, including Salesforce, SharePoint, and MS Office, and am fluent in French and English with a good command of Swahili and basic Spanish.
