Meet Mary Wanjiru: our new Marketing Manager

Mary, who was born and raised in Nairobi is joining the Academy as the Marketing Manager. She has worked in various industries from e-commerce to renewable energy. She has worked with well-known household names such as  Little Ride, Cadbury, Colgate-Palmolive, and Gillette. 

As the new Marketing Manager, Mary would like to expand the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa brand through effective and consistent activities online and on ground to enhance the Academy’s outlook and vision. She plans to uphold the mission and vision of the Academy by being a supportive team member and leader. “I plan to effectively work in a way that will empower others and actively work as a team member. I would like to learn from others as I improve my own personal outlook on others’ needs including the students.”

Mary’s favourite part of the Academy is the campus and the positive attitude of everyone around. “I enjoy the culture in the school where everybody greets everyone with a smile no matter who they are or what they do, everyone interacts in a positive way with the other person. Of all the companies I have been, AKA Mombasa is truly one of the most beautiful environments, so I would like to remind everyone every day to appreciate where you are and not take it for granted. Continue to greet everybody with a hearty smile,” she said.
