When the opportunity to join the team came my way, I was ecstatic to join the “brilliance”.

Notably, one of my most memorable experiences working with d.light was the first time we launched Mobile clinics in Uganda. I was still serving as both Aftersales lead and Quality lead at the time (October 2018). It required a lot of preparation since d.light Foot print was still growing at the time and also the structure was still lean, this meant getting a team together in the shortest time, training them, getting the logistical needs involved and sending them to all regions of the country. This was a success and was benchmarked for other regions too.

One of my most memorable moments is when I was called upon to support the set-up and training the call center team in our new market then, Uganda. I had great learnings that enhanced my skills and always uplifted when I reflect on the contributions I made. d.light also offered me a chance to pilot and roll-out the d.light - Safaricom partnership POS (Point Of Sale) project across the country.

I began my career at d.light at entry level as a Solar Energy Promoter (SEP) in July 2019, during d.light's early days in Tanzania.
I was attracted to the d.light mission of transforming lives through sustainable solar energy solutions. My community in Ndachi – Dodoma, had no reliable access to electricity.
I have been able to work in different capacities ranging from a SEP (Solar Energy Promoter) to a Team Leader to a Regional Trainer to a Regional Sales Executive to a Stock Controller and to now a Regional Sales Manager
