What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead market-led growth, inclusive development, digital transformation, and MEL programmes where I can connect research, strategy, stakeholder partnerships, and practical delivery for SMEs, communities, and international organisations.

I've led market research, branding, business-model, and development work through Trend Group Market Research for clients including The Coca-Cola Company, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Vodafone, Microsoft, Nike, ILO, IOM, UNDP, ITC, and the EU.

For ITC’s Cameroon Penja Pepper project, I researched UK and European markets and developed marketing, branding, communications, sales pitches, brochures, website content, and social media assets. I also helped shape ITC’s Community of Practice platform for SMEs seeking marketing and branding support.

I build programmes from strategy through field delivery, combining MEL, stakeholder management, digital transformation, research, and community-based business models. I’ve led teams of up to 120 people, supported women entrepreneurs and MSMEs, and have produced and hosted radio programmes at Açık Radyo since 2009.
