What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow into a business development and commercial growth role, bringing my pipeline-management and stakeholder-negotiation foundation to a broader strategy and partnerships mandate.

At Sarova Panafric Hotel, I manage CRM records for 120+ annual corporate event opportunities and support sales planning and reporting. I also track outstanding balances against corporate event revenue exceeding KES 50 million annually.

As Event & Banqueting Coordinator at Sarova Panafric Hotel, I coordinated corporate functions, conferences, weddings and private events, including events for 500–1,000+ guests. I worked across clients, vendors and hotel departments to align requirements and resources for delivery.

Earlier, at Swiss Lenana Mount Hotel, I handled customer requests, payments and service issues as a Bar Attendant / Trainee. I’m now looking to grow into a business development and commercial growth role, building on my pipeline management and stakeholder negotiation experience.
