@jonathanrasugu
I build institutional partnerships, education funding opportunities, and AI products through strategic outreach and optimization.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Starnet Technical College, I lead partnerships with NGOs, donors, and education organizations to fund student training, computer labs, digital learning infrastructure, and ICT capacity-building programs.
I develop tailored proposals, manage high-volume outreach, and maintain CRM and Excel tracking for leads, negotiations, and long-term institutional partnerships. I also coordinate institutions, donors, and technical teams during LMS and learning-technology rollouts.
Previously at Suss Digital Africa, I secured opportunities across digital advertising and AI technology while managing key accounts and contributing user-behavior insights to product development. I improved Suss AI systems through scenario testing, feedback loops, data input, and performance refinement.
My background also includes sales and marketing, logistics coordination, contract negotiation, and commercial fish farming operations. I bring practical experience connecting technical solutions, operations, and client needs.
