What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my sales and client relationship experience to a forward-thinking company that values innovation, customer satisfaction, and results-driven strategies.

At Down To Earth Technologies Kenya, I work as a Sales Representative in Uganda, identifying business opportunities, negotiating deals, and building client relationships. I also provide product demonstrations and training while helping expand the company’s footprint in the country.

As a Business Development Executive at Spidd Africa Ltd, I developed business opportunities, conducted market and competitor research, and negotiated contracts. I collaborated with marketing, product development, and finance to align business strategies.

Earlier, as Sales and Project Manager at JIL Insights, I monitored sales performance, managed client relations, and planned and executed projects. I also worked in customer communication and market research at East African Transportation, and I hold sales certifications including Sophos Certified Sales Consultant and Cloud Guard Specialist (Checkpoint).
