What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining business development and digital marketing where I can drive client acquisition, manage tenders, and apply agricultural and analytical expertise in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a results-driven business developer and social media manager with a BSc in Agriculture (Crop Science) from the University of Nairobi and hands-on experience in consultancy, customer care for stock investment clients, and digital marketing.

In my current consulting role I support proposal writing, tender negotiation, market research and client engagement, contributing to successful bids and improved client satisfaction; I also manage social media strategy and campaigns that drove a 45% increase in platform sign-ups at Recruiters Africa.

I combine agricultural knowledge, CRM and Microsoft Office/GenStat proficiency with strong communication, analytical thinking and teamwork to identify opportunities, streamline processes and build long-term client relationships.
