I am the Senior Manager Commercial Marketing & Advertising and been Acting as Director Commercial Services since August 2022 at Zambia Airports Corporation. My Commercial experience spurns slightly over 20 years in manufacturing, Retail, telecommunication and Aviation with a strong focus on the land side business. In terms of qualifications, I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Public Administration and Minored in Mass communication and Psychology , International Diploma in management studies and a Masters Degree in Business Administration and Post Graduate Diploma In Lecturing & Teaching methodology (Graduating December 2023) Am a customers centric person and ever open to fostering long term business relationships and enjoy working on projects that have medium to long term horizon with a view of delivering environmental and commercial sustainability. My current role involves detailing with Concession partners duty free , Advertising , restaurants and inflight catering operators , car parking and car rentals partners, office rentals for Airlines and all Airport Stakeholders , Cargo warehousing and Hangar Operators and lounges to list but a few . Am so honored to have lead the approval of the land use plan( KKIA Airport City ) and the construction concept( Expression of interest ) for Hotels at HMKIA( Livingstone) and MIA( Mfuwe) by the Board of Directors which a strategic initiative that the organization has been working on with the wonderful of NACO. These are projects that am very passionate about which will in the long term support the rebalancing of the Corporation’s aviation and Non Aviation revenues as well as build the Corporation’s cargo business and the management of Oil marketing companies and the development of fuel farms in all our Airports. I believe our participation at the Aviadev presents an opportunity to engage with various stakeholder and investors who may take part in the supporting the realization of the Development of the Airport City in several ways. Further as a Corporation we have the opportunity to develop the large pieces of land in min Airport Cities over and above the KKIA Envisaged Airport City. In my role, I am responsible for the monetization of the large masses of land the Corporation owns in the 7 domestic Airports which are undergoing development and ensure that we have commercial services to enable us support our domestic travelers over and above the international travelers in our four international Airports this dream resonates with the Government interest to open up the country’s tourism circuits . Further I have a deep rooted passion in building capacity in young employees to help prepare them to take our higher responsibility in our organization and my interest in teaching comes from this passion.
