My expertise lies in leveraging marketing tools to enhance brand presence, increase engagement, and drive revenue. I excel at leading cross-functional teams and managing digital campaigns, employing data-driven strategies to achieve business objectives.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and managed various marketing initiatives, including the Fat Cats Podcast, which showcases authentic African sports stories. My role as Digital Marketing Lead at Capital One Group has allowed me to align strategies and engage with clients effectively. I have a proven track record of increasing online engagement and sales through innovative ad campaigns and rebranding efforts at companies like Simba Telecom and Protea Hotels.
