Noella M. Mutanda M-PRSK(K), M-CIPR (UK)

With over 22 years of experience spanning corporate, development, and media sectors, I am a seasoned Corporate Communications practitioner adept at brand building and storytelling. As the former Senior Corporate Communications Manager at Kenya’s Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), I led comprehensive strategies in Corporate Communication, Media Relations, Brand Communication, Stakeholder Engagement, Crisis Communication, and Public Education/Advocacy Campaigns. Leveraging my background in Journalism, Corporate Communications, Economics, and Management, I have established and institutionalized functional Communication Departments, overseeing their development and execution. I am skilled in crafting and implementing departmental work plans, budgets, and procurement strategies. A passionate advocate for strategy and governance, I excel in distilling complex information into digestible content. My leadership fosters collaboration, goal setting, and momentum generation to achieve shared objectives. With a diverse work history across multiple countries, I bring a flexible skill set to adapt to new environments seamlessly.
