About me

I am a dynamic, results-driven Marketing and Communications Professional with over 10 years of experience in FMCG marketing, brand development, strategic communications, project execution, and retail-focused campaign management. Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented high-impact marketing strategies, led successful rebranding initiatives, driven revenue growth, and enhanced customer engagement. I am adept at managing multi-channel marketing, coordinating in-store promotions, conducting market surveys, and aligning messaging with corporate objectives.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Business Leadership (MBL) to enhance my strategic leadership capabilities. My professional journey includes roles such as Independent Marketing Consultant, Marketing Manager at JB Group of Companies, and Regional Media & Communications Manager at the International Organisation for Migration. These experiences have equipped me with strong skills in marketing strategy, campaign development, stakeholder engagement, and project management.

I have a proven track record of delivering measurable results, including a 40% increase in annual revenue through strategic marketing initiatives and leading the full rebranding of JB Sports to JB. I am passionate about creating innovative marketing solutions that improve brand visibility and customer engagement across various sectors.

My technical skills include proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, CorelDraw, social media management tools, and basic web and graphic design. I am a strong communicator, creative thinker, highly organized, and results-oriented, with excellent negotiation and presentation skills.

I thrive in fast-paced and diverse environments and am committed to continuous learning and professional development to stay ahead in the evolving marketing landscape.
