What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global event strategy and stakeholder engagement—partnering across communications and regional teams to deliver measurable impact for brand, advocacy, and policy outcomes, with room to innovate on event measurement and executive engagement.

I’m an Events and Engagement Specialist with over 15 years of experience delivering high-impact global convenings, stakeholder engagement initiatives, and strategic event activations across Africa and international platforms. I translate events into measurable organizational outcomes—improving brand visibility, strengthening partnerships, and advancing advocacy objectives.

Since September 2023, as an International Relations & Events Manager at the Communications Authority of Kenya, I lead the strategic planning and execution of 50+ high-level international and regional events annually. I manage an institutional events and engagement calendar, coordinate senior leadership positioning through curated meetings, speaking opportunities, and targeted stakeholder engagement, and oversee end-to-end logistics.

I’ve built lasting relationships with international event organizers and multilateral partners, securing high-value engagement opportunities that enhance influence in global policy and development spaces. I also develop executive toolkits, briefing notes, and engagement plans, and I introduced event performance tracking and reporting mechanisms to improve delivery and ROI.

Earlier, I served as a Senior Events Coordination Officer and Stakeholder Relations Officer at the same organization, directing 80+ events per year and coordinating 50+ stakeholder engagement events annually. I strengthened internal event processes with standardized planning tools, managed budgets and vendor relationships under tight timelines, and contributed to successful international lobbying campaigns, including Kenya’s re-election to global ICT councils for the 2022–2025 cycle.
