He will be replaced in his current role of Managing Director of Pulse Nigeria by Fiona Weeks, who is joining the international leadership team from her current role as Director of Digital Strategy. Fiona will be supported by Katharina Link, MD of Pulse Ghana, taking on the additional responsibility of MD for West Africa.

Leonard on the appointment: ‘Moritz has successfully led our Ghanaian and then Nigerian operations and built out Pulse’s crucial tech platform. I have full confidence in him to drive sustained growth at Pulse with our team. With Fiona & Katharina in the lead in our biggest markets and region I know we will go from strength to strength.’

As Managing Director of Pulse Senegal & Francophone West Africa, Caroline Mbodj will continue to build up operations and support a new MD to come in later in the year in Côte d’Ivoire. 

In the role of Managing Director of Pulse Kenya & East Africa there will be a change: Leonie von Elverfeldt has decided to transition out of Pulse, after building up Pulse Kenya over the past 4 years. As part of Leonie’s transition, Wamuyu Kiragu will join as new Managing Director for the country and region, also supporting a new MD to come in later in the year in Uganda.

Leonard on the transition: ‘Leonie’s impact in building Pulse in Kenya to be a love brand for our users and partner to our clients cannot be overstated. 

Her hard work, expertise, continuous drive for innovation and energy have built a strong and sustainable base of our Pulse brand in East Africa. Her dedication also shows in her support in winning Wamuyu to join our team: I have no doubt that with Wamuyu’s experience, expertise and network, we are set for continuation of the success in Kenya and the region.’

This international leadership team of Pulse will be supported by the international coordination team, working with all countries as well as international partners and clients. It comprises of the recently onboarded Head of International Business Development, Devon Llywellyn Van den Berg, based in South Africa, and Head of Marketing & Content Growth, Kanyinsola Aroyewun, based in Nigeria, as well as the Head of HR & Admin, Temi Akinya, based in Nigeria.

Le compte Pulse Sénégal est certifié sur TikTok

[Lagos, Nigéria – 15 mars 2021] Pulse, leader des médias innovants en Afrique, a annoncé la vérification de sa plateforme TikTok au Sénégal, l’un de ses marchés. Cela renforce davantage l’empreinte de Pulse au Sénégal et démontre son leadership et ses capacités sur le marché des médias du pays. Pulse Sénégal a commencé ses activités dans le pays en 2015, et depuis lors, elle est devenue l’une des principales sociétés de médias du pays, faisant passer ses communautés numériques à plus de 60 000 abonnés. Pulse Sénégal est désormais vérifié devant d’autres organisations de médias au Sénégal.

S’exprimant sur la croissance de ses canaux sociaux, Caroline Mbodj, directrice générale de Pulse, a déclaré: «Notre équipe continue de repousser les limites au Sénégal et c’est toujours formidable de voir la croissance et la reconnaissance de notre travail acharné dans un futur proche et lointain.

Alors que le paysage des médias numériques continue de croître sur les marchés africains, Pulse couvre constamment de nouveaux domaines et renforce sa position de premier fournisseur d’informations, de divertissement et d’éducation aux jeunes en Afrique, avec une audience mensuelle croissante cumulant plus de 100 millions de personnes.

Lagos, Nigeria – March 15, 2021 – Pulse, Africa’s leading innovative media company has announced the verification of its TikTok platform in Senegal, one of its markets. This further solidifies the Pulse footprint in Senegal and demonstrates its leadership and capabilities in the media market in the country. Pulse Senegal began operations in the country in 2015, and since that time, it has grown to become one of the leading media companies in the country, growing its digital communities to over 60 thousand subscribers. Pulse Senegal is now verified ahead of other media organizations in Senegal.

Speaking on the growth of its social channels, Caroline Mbodj, Managing Director of Pulse said “Our team keeps pushing the envelope in Senegal and it’s always great to see the growth and recognition of our hard work.I am excited about what we’ll achieve in the near and far future.”

As the digital media landscape continues to grow in Africa’s markets, Pulse is consistently covering new ground and reinforcing its position as the leading provider of information, entertainment and education to young people in Africa digitally, with a cumulative monthly audience of more than 100 million people across markets monthly and growing.

Pulse, Africa’s leading innovative media company, is set to present the 2020 year-end edition of its Pulse Picks, its showcase of the continent’s key figures and events in different categories. Across its platforms & social media channels in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Senegal, Pulse is trusted by its young audience in the fields of politics, music, entertainment, sports and more. For many years, Pulse’s local editorial teams have leveraged this trust to curate their compilations of the most outstanding players and events in different industries and categories. This year will be no different.

Ben Bassey, Editor-in-Chief of Pulse Nigeria, said: ‘My colleagues in other Pulse markets and I are excited to showcase the people and events that have shaped 2020. This year was unique and challenging – and we will go out with a bang, picking what made it that way.”

The curations are highly anticipated by Pulse’s huge digital communities and will drive high user engagement. Sponsorship of existing categories and bespoke pick offerings will therefore also provide a great opportunity for brands across these markets to access an engaged audience, increase brand awareness and foster brand affinity. 

Speaking on the announcement from a commercial perspective, Katharina Link, Managing Director of Pulse Ghana, said ‘We are excited for the Pulse Picks 2020 because each year, it proves to be one of the strongest initiatives for audience engagement for us, and also a rare opportunity to bring our audience and the country’s biggest brands together, a great visibility opportunity for our partners and clients.’
