KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated marketing professional with over a decade of experience in the insurance and media sectors. My journey began at Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, where I honed my skills in customer care and advertising sales. I quickly progressed to roles that required leadership and strategic thinking, such as my time as a Unit Manager at Jubilee Insurance, where I led a team of 12 members and managed client portfolios effectively.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive results. As a Financial Advisor at Jubilee Insurance, I not only managed client portfolios but also played a crucial role in recruiting and coaching agents. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my objective to elevate marketing to extraordinary heights, ensuring that every interaction is dynamic and engaging. I believe in the power of creativity and professionalism to deliver high-quality results that resonate with clients.
