Maswani Matiki
@maswanimatiki
Marketing and communications leader blending strategy, digital automation, and AI-enabled storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic operations, marketing, and digital systems specialist with “over a decade of progressive, international experience” across Malawi, Namibia, and Botswana. I focus on building organizational structures that convert complex work into clear narratives and durable growth.
In my recent leadership roles, I’ve directed full-scale marketing and cross-border communications, shaping brand equity across multiple countries. I’ve also engineered digital automation for donor stewardship, designed UX-driven conversion pathways, and managed end-to-end creative procurement and budget oversight.
I combine marketing discipline with advanced AI and systems thinking, including “artificial intelligence—specifically within algorithmic music annotation.” From web portal user journeys to internal communication workflows and procurement/logistics coordination, I bring a human-centric, end-to-end approach that makes teams faster and stories stronger.
