Valerie Kamau
@valeriekamau
Expert in connecting demand generation to deal closure. A hybrid BD/Marketing leader driving full-cycle growth.
What I'm looking for
I'm an early-career growth professional with a track record of driving results across the entire customer funnel. Over two years, I have deliberately built a hybrid skill set in strategic outreach (Business Development) and data-driven campaign execution (Marketing).
My Integrated Experience:
At Impact Africa Network and the Ignite Program, I prospect for high-value partners and sponsors, manage relationships, and use tailored communications to advance deals.
At Danada Developers, I generated and nurtured leads through digital campaigns, email marketing, and analytics.
This dual focus lets me create demand and capture it. For example, I've built partnership pipelines from scratch and used campaign data to directly improve outreach strategies.
I am passionate about the strategic side of go-to-market plans and using analytics to make smarter decisions. I’m looking for a Business Development Representative, Growth Associate, or Marketing Coordinator role where I can contribute to a team by both building the pipeline and helping to close it.
