Ema Murigi
@emamurigi
I deliver high-impact customer success and digital marketing, transitioning from 7+ years in aviation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer success and digital marketing professional with 7+ years of high-performance experience in international aviation, sales, and marketing. I’m known for maintaining a 95% passenger satisfaction rating across 50,000+ interactions with Kenya Airways—backed by strong communication, empathy, and crisis management under pressure.
In my roles, I’ve owned the passenger experience end-to-end while building loyalty with repeat high-value customers through personalized, anticipatory service. I also led emergency response during in-flight medical crises, coordinating confidently with crew and ground teams when time and pressure were extreme.
Alongside customer-facing leadership, I’m transitioning into remote customer success, support operations, and digital marketing. I’ve mentored and onboarded 50+ new crew members, earned 8 HubSpot Academy digital marketing certifications, and built multi-channel digital marketing campaigns at Dreamcoat Ltd to drive measurable increases in client retention and sales conversions.
