Jessica Hope is the Founder and CEO of Wimbart, an award-winning London-based PR consultancy specialising in African and emerging market communications across technology and business. Since launching in 2016, she has grown Wimbart into a 15-strong team across London and Lagos, delivering media strategies for over 230 organisations, from high-growth startups to institutional investors and public sector bodies.
Wimbart operates in both directions, helping international companies enter African markets with credibility, while taking the continent’s most ambitious tech companies onto the global stage. With more than 15 years’ experience, Jessica is known for turning complex, high-growth market stories into narratives that actually land and cutting through noise; she is vocal about challenging outdated perceptions and ensuring African businesses are represented with the depth and accuracy they deserve.
Jessica is an international speaker and host of The Wimbart Way podcast, and mentors emerging talent across the PR and African tech ecosystem. She has been named in PRWeek’s UK Powerbook from 2019 to 2026 and was recognised as Founder of the Year at the 2023 BME PR Pros Awards.
