Dear Hiring Committee,
RE: Application for Business Development Manager – Agribusiness and Healthcare Programs
I am writing to express my keen interest in the Business Development Manager position at Strathmore Business School. With more than a decade of experience in enterprise support, project management, and strategic business development within the agribusiness and healthcare-adjacent sectors, I bring a strong combination of strategic insight and client-facing expertise that aligns well with the role.
In my previous roles at Kenya Climate Innovation Center and Enterprise Support Center, I spearheaded initiatives that supported over 300 youth- and women-led businesses, focusing on capacity building, financial access, and market linkage. I have led training and mentorship programs tailored to sector-specific needs—including agribusiness, renewable energy, and health-related social enterprises—giving me an in-depth understanding of diverse business models and impact-focused program design.
I am particularly drawn to Strathmore Business School’s commitment to excellence and its sectoral focus on agribusiness and healthcare. I bring proven experience in:
Developing customized training and capacity-building programs
Cultivating strategic partnerships with local and international stakeholders
Driving market intelligence and pipeline development to exceed growth targets
Having consistently delivered growth-focused results, I am confident in my ability to contribute to the visibility, uptake, and impact of Strathmore’s signature programs.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how I can support your team in strengthening Strathmore’s position as a thought leader and training hub in these critical sectors.
Sincerely,
Philip Ngaah
