About Francis Musembi, Mba

I am an accomplished marketer with vast experience in B2B/B2C marketing, FinTech, GTM strategy formulation, market research, trade execution and project management. Having worked in telecommunications, logistics and FMCG industries, my craft has been sharpened in some of the most dynamic and competitive business settings in the region. Currently working at AP Moller Maersk as a Marketing Manager - Digital Solutions (IMEA region), I have a proven track record in commercial success through impactful data-driven marketing. At AP Moller Maersk, my highlight has been driving the uptake of self-serve digital logistics solutions among SMEs, contributing 5k+ bookings in 2023. During my stint at Safaricom, my achievements include growing the adoption of cashless business payments in Kenya by 225% from 160K merchants in 2020 to 520K merchants in 2022 and the launch of M-PESA business app. My experience has enabled me to develop a passion for building strong brands and a very good understanding of regional and Kenyan market dynamics.
