What I'm looking for

I'm looking to transfer my executive operations, program coordination, and organizational leadership capabilities into an Executive Operations, Chief of Staff Support, Program Coordination, or Operations Management role within an esteemed organization.

At Ambatana Group of Companies, I provide executive and Chief of Staff support to founders and senior leaders across nonprofit, investment, real estate, hospitality, and community-business entities. I coordinate governance and partner communications, translate leadership decisions into workplans, and support initiatives such as Ambatana Manor.

At EmpowerHopeKenya, I coordinate program delivery and HR operations across locations; onboarding improvements cut processing time by 44%, and centralized tracking improved staff milestone completion by 19%. Earlier, I managed hotel operations at Tribe Hotel and coordinated distributed teams at OrganoGoldInternational.
