What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a strategic and results-oriented telecom professional with over 10 years of progressive experience in sales and distribution, digital transformation, platform delivery, project coordination, and customer experience enhancement. My career has been marked by a demonstrated success in leading cross-functional teams, managing large-scale digital platforms, and delivering innovative solutions that align with business goals.

Currently, I serve as the EKYC Platforms and Acquisition Channel Manager at Safaricom Ethiopia, where I spearhead the end-to-end deployment of EKYC hardware and platforms to drive digital onboarding. I have established governance frameworks that enhance operational compliance and customer experience, driving adoption and platform usage through process reengineering and performance monitoring. My previous roles have equipped me with a robust skill set in stakeholder engagement, governance, and performance tracking, enabling me to thrive in dynamic environments and drive revenue growth.
