At Uncap, I led communications, content and stakeholder engagement across projects, and led communications strategy for a SaaS product launch that secured two strategic partnerships. I also developed 15+ client impact stories, contributing to a 64% increase in website engagement over two years.

At Taptap Send, I coordinated communications across a multicultural UK/Kenya team and initiated 15 new partnerships. Earlier, at Nendo, I developed a regional newsletter programme for Beiersdorf/NIVEA that increased subscriber sign-ups by 45% and landing-page traffic by 63%; at Jumia, my editorial campaigns and newsletters contributed to a 40% increase in e-commerce sales within three months. I also launched the Unseen Life Experience podcast to tell stories of Africans living with or affected by disability.
