Kaaheke has worked in various fields, ranging from retail, tourism, agriculture, fishing and the housing industry.
"He has been with NHE for nearly nine years; he started off as a sales consultant and was later promoted to a senior sales consultant," she said.
Kaaheke holds a postgraduate master of management degree and a bachelor of business administration (honours) from Stadio Higher Education and a bachelor of marketing from the University of Science and Technology (NUST).

Making his mark
He added that his dream was to become a business executive who made things happen – "irrespective of the industry I am in."
"But I am happy to make my mark in the housing sector, as it’s in line with the government agenda of housing the nation and has a big impact on our society,’’ he said.
The nine years he has worked at the company have enabled him to "understand and embrace cultural diversity and emotional intelligence" because he works with clients and colleagues from different backgrounds and with different expectations.
He urged people to be humble, to be true to themselves, and to never stop believing because anything is possible.
