What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Sales Executive with 15+ years of experience in Sales Development, Business Development, Investment, and Client Relationship management.

In my current role, I manage a loan and property financing portfolio valued at approximately KES 200 Billion and maintain relationships with 1,000+ active clients, including investors and high-net-worth individuals. I leverage HubSpot, Zoho CRM, and Go High Level (GHL) to manage pipelines and follow-ups, coordinate meetings across clients, investors, and senior management, and support onboarding, documentation, and financing approvals—while also training teams to improve CRM utilization and customer engagement.
