I am passionate about marketing and brand development across Africa and have been fortunate enough to work in and along side blue chip global companies (Unilever and Massmart/Walmart).

Having worked across apparel, corporate retail, FMCG, manufacturing, I.T. and ad agency sectors over the past 28 years, I am able to assess brands from consumers', producers' as well as marketers’ view points. Personality strengths: attentive, logical, reliable, thorough, and organised Personality motivators: probing questions & analyzing information, maintaining results, establishing routine Specialties: Business development (Retail, FMCG, manufacturing), Marketing Director services, the ability to market and trade in multiple African countries Business motto: “The ultimate goal of a marketer is – by nature, by culture and by training – the one of feeling, investigating and understanding people’s needs, wants and desires and then developing meaningful solutions and relevant ecosystems of experiences aiming to satisfy and fulfill them.” Looking forward to chatting soon.
