What I'm looking for

I seek a senior marketing or commercial role where I can lead teams, drive client acquisition, execute integrated campaigns and deliver measurable revenue growth in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a senior marketing and sales leader with extensive experience building client relationships, executing integrated marketing campaigns and delivering measurable revenue growth across media and real estate sectors.

Across progressive roles I have led teams, negotiated high-value partnerships, acquired major clients and consistently exceeded sales targets — including multi-million shilling deals and double-digit growth achievements.

I bring strong communication, people-management and strategic planning skills, a hands-on approach to campaign execution, and a commitment to excellence and continuous learning.
