What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful research.

I'm a market research professional with over 13 years of experience working across 11 African markets. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of managing research programs for leading brands while building strong relationships with clients and developing research teams. My background spans both agency and client-side perspectives, giving me a unique understanding of what makes research partnerships successful.

I've worked with diverse clients including Phillip Morris International, Vodacom Congo, KCB Group, and Barclays Bank. I believe great research relationships are built on trust, clear communication, and delivering insights that drive business decisions. My experience at Ipsos Kenya allowed me to lead a team of researchers and secure key corporate clients, which taught me the importance of collaboration and delivering actionable insights.

My career has been marked by a commitment to continuous learning and professional development. I have pursued various training opportunities to enhance my skills, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of market research methodologies. I am passionate about creating clear research reports that are accessible and actionable, ultimately helping businesses make informed decisions.
