INDEPENDENT STRATEGIC MANDATE
INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MOBILISATION, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS & EXHIBITOR DEVELOPMENT
Health • Africa Market Access • Global Partnerships • Capital Mobilisation • International Exhibitors
Platforms: Vladic Health & Fitness | Vladic Kenya Longevity Platform | Vladic Health & Wellness Expo 2027
Engagement: Part-Time • Independent Strategic Mandate • Performance-Based
THE OPPORTUNITY
Vladic Health & Fitness is building an international preventive-health and longevity platform from Kenya, anchored by the Vladic Health & Wellness Expo 2027.
The wider ecosystem is designed to operate beyond a single event through digital health media, community engagement, institutional partnerships, the Kenya Longevity Tour, B2B engagement and international health and wellness initiatives.
The Vladic Expo is being developed not simply as an exhibition, but as a commercial and strategic meeting point connecting international health and wellness businesses with Kenya and the wider African market.
We are therefore seeking a senior international dealmaker, strategic partnerships professional or independent consultant with the networks and commercial capability to help unlock:
Capital • Strategic Partnerships • International Exhibitors • Market Access • Commercial Opportunities
This is an opportunity for an established professional to bring existing relationships, expertise and market access into a high-growth African health platform under a performance-based commercial structure.
THE MANDATE
This is not a conventional employment position, event-management role or ordinary sponsorship-sales assignment.
It is an independent, part-time strategic commercial mandate for a professional who can operate autonomously and leverage an established international network.
The mandate has three interconnected commercial pillars:
1. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITOR DEVELOPMENT
Identify and secure international companies seeking to enter, expand or strengthen their presence in Kenya and East Africa.
Priority sectors include:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Medical technology and devices
- Diagnostics and laboratory solutions
- Digital health and health technology
- Healthcare services
- Nutrition and nutraceuticals
- Longevity and healthy ageing
- Wellness and preventive-health solutions
- Corporate wellness
- Consumer health
- Health insurance and financial-health solutions
The objective is not simply to sell exhibition space.
The objective is to position the Vladic Expo as a gateway to African market access, relationships, visibility and commercial opportunities.
International healthcare exhibitions already use this model: exhibitors are offered access to buyers, distributors, investors, healthcare leaders and new business opportunities rather than simply floor space.
2. CAPITAL & STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP MOBILISATION
Identify and develop high-value relationships with:
- International corporations
- Corporate foundations
- Philanthropic organisations
- Global-health institutions
- Healthcare companies
- Development organisations
- Impact-oriented investors
- Family offices
- Strategic investors
- Financial institutions
- International foundations
- Other aligned capital and partnership sources
The focus is on high-quality relationships and conversion, not mass outreach.
The primary commercial objective is to move qualified opportunities toward documented commitments, contracted partnerships and funds actually received.
Where philanthropic or charitable funding is involved, the engagement structure will be agreed in a manner appropriate to the relevant legal and institutional requirements.
3. AFRICA MARKET ACCESS & B2B DEVELOPMENT
Help international organisations understand the opportunity to use Vladic as a platform for building relationships across Kenya and East Africa.
Potential value includes access to:
- Healthcare stakeholders
- Businesses and employers
- Healthcare professionals
- Distributors and commercial partners
- Institutions
- Investors
- Media
- Digital audiences
- Wellness and consumer markets
- Strategic African partners
The professional will help transform the Vladic Expo into a business-development and relationship platform, not merely a three-day exhibition.
THE 90-DAY ACCELERATION PHASE
The initial engagement is structured around a 90-day acceleration mandate.
This period is designed to establish commercial momentum and validate the relationship between Vladic and the appointed strategic partner.
Identify → Introduce → Engage → Structure → Negotiate → Convert
During the first 90 days, the focus will be on:
Days 1–30 — Market Activation
- Map priority markets and organisations.
- Identify high-value prospects.
- Activate relevant existing relationships.
- Establish priority introductions.
- Refine target-account strategy.
Days 31–60 — Engagement & Structuring
- Conduct senior-level conversations.
- Develop qualified partnership opportunities.
- Engage prospective international exhibitors.
- Structure commercial propositions.
- Advance priority negotiations.
Days 61–90 — Conversion
- Advance negotiations toward signed commitments.
- Secure qualifying exhibitor agreements.
- Convert strategic partnerships.
- Progress capital opportunities.
- Establish the longer-term partnership pipeline.
The 90 days are not the end of the mandate.
They are the initial acceleration phase of a potentially long-term strategic relationship.
Where there is strong performance, relationship fit and a developing pipeline, Vladic intends to continue the relationship through a longer-term strategic mandate, potentially covering additional markets, exhibitors, capital relationships and international partnerships.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
This mandate is deliberately outcome-oriented.
Success will not be measured primarily by:
- Number of emails sent
- Number of proposals produced
- Number of meetings attended
- Number of generic leads generated
Success will be demonstrated through:
- Qualified senior introductions
- High-value international relationships
- Confirmed international exhibitors
- Executed commercial partnerships
- Strategic corporate relationships
- Documented financial commitments
- Funds actually received
- A growing international partnership pipeline
- Long-term relationships capable of generating recurring value
TARGET PARTNER PROFILE
We are seeking an established independent consultant, senior adviser, former executive, strategic partnerships professional, business-development leader or international dealmaker.
Relevant experience may include:
International Resource Mobilisation
Global Health Partnerships
Corporate Partnerships
International Business Development
Healthcare Investment
Pharmaceutical & MedTech Partnerships
Exhibition Commercialisation
Africa Market Entry
Institutional Fundraising
Philanthropy
Impact Investment
Strategic Market Development
The strongest candidates will bring more than experience.
They will bring relationships, credibility, commercial judgement and demonstrated access to decision-makers.
WHAT WE WILL VALUE MOST
We are interested in evidence of what you have actually achieved.
Please be prepared to demonstrate examples of:
- Major partnerships originated or closed
- International exhibitors or commercial partners secured
- Capital or commercial revenue mobilised
- Africa market-entry relationships developed
- Multi-year partnerships established
- Senior corporate relationships developed
- Healthcare or global-health partnerships
- Strategic introductions that resulted in measurable commercial outcomes
Approximate deal values, markets, sectors and your specific role are particularly useful.
Titles matter less than demonstrable results.
COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE
This is an independent, part-time, performance-based mandate.
There is no conventional monthly salary or full-time employment structure.
The commercial model is designed around success-based remuneration, with the precise fee structure agreed in writing before commencement.
For commercial opportunities such as qualifying exhibitor agreements and partnership revenue, the success fee will be linked to qualifying funds actually received by Vladic.
The parties will separately establish appropriate treatment for institutional, philanthropic or grant-related opportunities where applicable.
The model offers:
Performance-based upside
Your earning potential is connected to the scale of the commercial value you help create.
No fixed full-time commitment
The mandate is designed for an experienced professional who already operates independently.
International scope
The work can be conducted across relevant international markets.
Direct executive access
The appointed professional will work directly with Vladic's Founder/CEO and executive team.
Long-term potential
Strong performance during the initial acceleration phase can lead to an expanded and continuing strategic mandate.
VLADIC'S SUPPORT
The appointed professional will not be expected to build the entire commercial infrastructure from zero.
Vladic will provide the relevant executive pitch materials, Expo information, platform documentation, commercial propositions, audience informa
