What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior commercial leadership role where I can drive regional revenue growth, lead cross-functional teams, expand market presence and implement data-driven media strategies within a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a dynamic media sales and strategy leader with over 17 years' experience driving TV, digital and ATL revenue growth across East Africa, using market, financial and audience data to inform strategic decisions. I have a strong track record in market expansion, cross-border campaign delivery and building high-performing teams.

I have led Pan-African campaigns and launched new regional operations, securing multi-market contracts and partnerships with major broadcasters, delivering measurable outcomes such as 28M+ impressions and multi-million dollar sponsorship deals. I design performance frameworks, proprietary audience segmentation and programmatic strategies that improved engagement and increased revenue.

I am skilled at stakeholder engagement with ExCo-level leaders, benefits-led prioritization and converting strategic thinking into execution. I seek roles where I can lead commercial growth, expand market presence and embed data-driven sales and marketing practices across multi-platform campaigns.
