RUTA AT WORK
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
​
My marketing journeys starts off in university where my discipline and hard work were rewarded. This is the validation that assured me I was on the right part and my efforts had not gone in vain. I expanded my formal qualifications by achieving a master’s in marketing and becoming a Chartered Marketer.
​
As a Marketer with over 8 years of experience, I am happy that I have had the opportunity to be part of very successful campaigns and strategies not only in the FMCG but also in the B2B Sector.
​
I began my professional career at Unilever and quickly rose the ranks during my tenure to become a senior brand executive. In 2013, I was recruited by Lafarge Holcim as a key part of their marketing team and by 2019 I became a Regional Manager, where I am currently responsible for their entire regional marketing and communications strategy.
I am a strong believer of empower the ones around me and the youth with power of education. I am an active contributor of improving children’s education through programs like Project Nanhi Kali which support education of young girl by covering the cost of good quality education and Pencils of Promise which is another education initiative that builds schools for children in Africa
