Strategic Communications | PR 2.0 Savvy | Financial Journalist | Ghost Writer | Artist |

I'm a PR and new media strategist/consultant by day. Bloomberg Financial Journalism Fellow with over 12 years experience in both media and public relations industries. I have wealth of experience in practice areas spanning strategic communications strategy formulation, business development, investor relations, crises management, editorial content development and online reputation management.

I started my career as a business journalist and I have written for a myriad of publications. I honed my experience in integrated marketing and communications working for public relations agencies.

I have crafted and implemented strategic communication plans for organizations such IMF, LG Electronics, ICT Authority, Ajira Digital, KCB Group, IMF, Ministry of ICT, Vision 2030, First Lady’s Half Marathon, Privatization Commission, The Economist Conferences and the African Union among others.

I’m prolific writer who believes that copy and assignments can sing too; with the right motivation. When I’m not reading or on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter or Facebook, you will find me seated in front of a Mac, Korg keyboard, Yamaha HS 8 Monitors and a Rode Microphone in my home studio.

In the past I have rented my abilities to Gina Din Corporate Communications, Ogilvy PR and Redhouse Public Relations, Publicis One,Business Post Magazine, The Financial Post, People Daily among others.

“The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.”
― Chuck Palahniuk
