@nkemnwaturuocha
Senior brand and communications strategist with 15+ years across banking, fintech, public health and tech in Africa. Health-tech founder.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary strategist, storyteller, and emerging health technology founder with over 15 years of experience spanning brand strategy, marketing communications, public health campaigns, and creative production across banking, fintech, development, and health sectors in Africa.
I began my career in banking, working with Diamond Bank and later Access Bank, where I played a key role in high-impact communications, including the Access–Diamond merger that reshaped Nigeria’s retail banking landscape. I have since led brand and communications strategy for organisations operating at scale, including national public health initiatives (CACOVID, NCDC, WHO-aligned campaigns), fintech and innovation-led companies, and international development programmes. My work consistently sits at the intersection of strategy, narrative clarity, and audience trust, particularly in complex or sensitive environments.
Alongside my corporate work, I am an award-winning filmmaker and founder of WhyteLamb, a creative studio focused on human-centred storytelling. My films and animated works explore memory, identity, migration, and social change, and have been recognised on international platforms including AFRIFF and AMVCA. Storytelling is not just a creative outlet for me, it is a strategic tool I use to simplify complexity, shift perception, and drive behaviour change.
