Toyin Ajayi’s Cityblock Health hires KFC’s Andrea Zahumensky as first CMO

Citiblock Health, a U.S.-based community health provider co-founded by Nigeria’s Toyin Ajayi and Iyah Romm has appointed Andrea Zahumensky, former KFC Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) as the first CMO of the 5-year old company.

Andrea Zahumensky joined KFC in 2017 where she was instrumental to the elevation of KFC’s brand with industry-leading innovation and marketing activations, which have contributed to the profitable growth of the food chain and helped build the brand into a more modern and relevant one.
