My expertise includes crafting compelling narratives, leading impactful campaigns, and creating platforms for dialogue that inspire global progress. In leadership roles such as Senior Communications Manager, Board Member, and Advisor, I have guided cross-functional teams, shaped narratives for international audiences, and executed initiatives that champion technology, innovation, gender equality, and sustainability. My work encompasses global advocacy, event and campaign management, public diplomacy, and strategic planning. I have successfully organized major summits, including the Global DPI Summit and Transform Africa Summit, and facilitated high-level convenings in 18 countries. Collaborating with international organizations like the UN, AfDB, and the EU, I drive global initiatives and secure strategic sponsorships. My leadership in innovation combines art, technology, and media to address pressing global challenges. Grounded in a human-centric approach, I believe in crafting narratives that resonate emotionally, ensuring interactive engagement and culturally relevant solutions that bridge global ambitions with local insights.
