What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise and coaching skills to foster talent development and organizational growth.

I am a Senior Human Resource Professional with over 20 years of experience in diverse sectors including banking, FMCG, oil and gas, and NGOs. My journey has been marked by a commitment to developing people-driven solutions that align with organizational goals. As a Certified Life Coach and Christian Mentor, I leverage my skills to inspire and empower individuals, particularly advocating for persons with disabilities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that foster employee engagement, diversity, and inclusion. My tenure at Vivo Energy Uganda as Human Resource Manager saw the implementation of innovative talent development programs and a significant increase in gender diversity within the workforce. I am dedicated to creating environments where teams can thrive, and I take pride in mentoring the next generation of leaders through programs like the Inspirational Women’s Program.
