Houlda Kitamba

Houlda Kitamba is a dynamic and accomplished Marketing, Communications, and Events Specialist hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo. My remarkable journey in the world of marketing and communications is a testament to my dedication, talent, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Born in the vibrant cultural milieu of DRC, my educational journey took me to Kenya, where I embarked on a path that would ultimately define my career. I pursued my higher education at Daystar University, after pursuing my primary and high school education in Nairobi, a prestigious institution known for its commitment to academic excellence and innovation. At Daystar, I demonstrated an unwavering commitment to her studies, which culminated in her graduation with an Honorary Undergraduate Bachelor's degree in Commerce majoring in Marketing.

My journey into the world of marketing began with an enriching internship at Epic Aviation College, where I spent three months in the marketing department. During my time there, I acquired valuable insights into the complexity of marketing and communications, laying the foundation for my career.
Following my internship, I joined Tufyfo, a telecommunication company, where I served as a customer service representative and subsequently rose to lead the marketing team. My tenure at Tufyfo lasted for one and a half years, during which I showcased my exceptional skills in customer engagement and marketing strategy development.

My professional trajectory took an even more exciting turn when I joined Junior Achievement Kenya. Here, I assumed a pivotal role as a leader in Marketing, Communications, and Events. In this capacity, I played a crucial role in shaping the organization's outreach and impact, fostering educational initiatives, and facilitating meaningful events that brought together young minds and industry leaders. Mentoring over 10,000 students and training them to be entrepreneurial thinkers to make them successful in the future became a daily objective.

My unwavering commitment to this led me to pursue further qualifications. I recently achieved a remarkable feat by completing the Level 4 Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) certification with distinction. The dedication and exceptional performance in this endeavor are a testament to my pursuit of excellence.
Throughout my journey, I have consistently demonstrated my passion for marketing, communications, and event management. My professional and academic achievements reflect my commitment to making a meaningful impact in the world
