#YearInReview | 20x Productivity: Reflection on Teamwork and Professional Growth 🚀 As we reflect on 2024, one thing stands out: the power of our determined, innovative, and purpose-driven team. 💪✨ At Turaco, we’re thrilled to share that this year we reached new heights—covering more lives than ever before. What makes this milestone truly remarkable is how we achieved it: together as a team. Instead of growing headcount, we focused on growing collaboration, ingenuity, and productivity. Our mantra this year has been 𝟮𝟬𝘅 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆. How do we serve 20x more customers - maintaining our high standard of quality - with our current team? And this year has been a testament to what’s possible when talented individuals unite with a shared mission. From optimizing processes to embracing creative solutions, we were able to reach further, and serve better without losing sight of our core values. And with this, we saw a number of #promotions and #progressions as team members learn, grew, and took on more responsibilities. Together, we’ve proven that it’s not the size of the team but the strength of its collective effort that drives success. Here’s to scaling new heights in 2025—together! 🌟 Ted Pantone Rachel Levenson Cedrick A Todwell Tillen Okello Valentine Njoroge Kijwaro Jeninah Romeo Juuko, DIP CII CDS®, Tusuubira Samalie Adwoa Yeboah Tonny Kigett Ababu Brian Lance Okeyo Maxwell Onjoro Wanjiru Mairang'a Patrick Watson Martin Githaiga Niraj Varia Miriam Kimani Judy Obeng Hamza Mutebi Leona Lillian Abban & many more!
