Kampala to host executive personal branding masterclass

KAMPALA, Uganda — Top executives are slated to speak at a personal branding masterclass in Kampala on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2025.

The “Building a Personal Brand That Works as Hard as You Do” masterclass, organized by communications strategist and personal branding researcher Lyn Tukei, will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Protea Skyz Hotel, Naguru.

“Many professionals spend years doing the work, but very little time telling the story,” said Tukei, who is also the founder of ‘Brand Help,’ a strategic think tank dedicated to elevating personal brands. “This masterclass is designed to help executives take control of their narrative, position themselves as trusted voices in their industry, and align their presence with their organization’s reputation.”

Speakers include:

Dr. Paul Kasenene, founder of Dr. Kasenene, will discuss using an online personal brand to drive organizational perception and growth.

Josephine Okui Ossiya, CEO of Capital Markets Authority and Board Member of the Bank of Uganda, will speak about “Journey to the Boardroom and C-Suite Using Personal Branding.”

Other speakers include Jackie Tahakanizibwa, Shamim Walusimbi, Connie Nankya, Sumin Namaganda, and Pepe Minambo. They will share insights on how branding, visibility, and authenticity can shape leadership growth.

Attendees will also participate in an interactive session focused on amplifying their presence and influence.

The event is open to CEOs, senior executives, founders, mid-level managers, officers, and emerging leaders across industries. The investment is 200,000 Ugandan shillings.
