MONICA NDERITU-MUKUNYA
Business Development Manager
Nairobi
Summary
Over the years, I have developed a reputation for delivering results and going above and beyond in whatever I set myself to do.
I have been on a career break and now settled to get back into the workforce. As a young mother during this period, I have sharpened my skills as a story teller, a chef, a gardener, a teacher, a builder, project manager and a clown all rolled into one.
My desire is to leverage and validate these skills coupled with my strong sense of business acumen to help your organization achieve its people and commercial objectives.
The position I am seeking is one that values creativity, growth and flexibility and allows me to build meaningful engagement and connection.
