Co-founder

Fabrice Brad Rulinda

Fabrice Brad Rulinda is Co-founder of Fadison Communications, bringing years of experience in strategic communications, government relations and advisory work to the firm. A diplomat, entrepreneur and public leader, he has advised national leaders and senior business figures, drawing on an understanding of how public policy, business and reputation shape one another.

His work spans government, enterprise and international relations. He uses that perspective to help leaders articulate their priorities, engage influential audiences and build trust, combining strategic judgement with sensitivity to the political, commercial and cultural contexts in which organisations operate.

Fabrice was educated in Law, International Relations, Diplomacy and Aviation across several continents. His experience in energy, investment and strategic partnerships complements his advisory background and grounds his understanding of communication in the practical demands of leadership and business.

Alongside his role at Fadison Communications, Fabrice serves as Mayor of Entebbe Municipality, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire in Uganda and Managing Director of Stratacore Energy. These roles inform his perspective on institutional accountability, diplomacy and engagement between the public and private sectors.

At Fadison Communications, his aim is to build a firm with international reach, helping businesses, institutions and leaders communicate with authority across markets and cultures. He believes enduring reputations depend on a clear sense of purpose, sound judgement and consistency between what organisations say and what they do.

David Lukwago is a Ugandan entrepreneur, strategic communications adviser and public affairs professional with more than 20 years of experience in communications, institutional positioning, stakeholder engagement and business leadership across East and Southern Africa.

In 2005, David founded Fideli, a communications firm that grew from a three-person start-up into a medium-sized regional enterprise with approximately 50 permanent employees and operations in Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia. Under his leadership, Fideli was recognised in the 2013 KPMG and Nation Media ranking of fast-growing small and medium-sized enterprises.

As Chief Executive Officer, David led multidisciplinary teams delivering national communication programmes for governments, development agencies and private-sector clients. His work included strategy development and implementation for Uganda's five-year, approximately US$50 million USAID and PEPFAR-supported Obulamu health communication programme.

He also supervised public communication initiatives supporting Rwanda's tax-inclusive recruitment programme and the transition from analogue to digital television in Uganda and Zambia. His responsibilities covered communication strategy, campaign design, contract negotiation, client relations, government engagement, programme execution and the management of multicultural teams.

David has also worked in political communications. During Uganda's 2016 and 2021 presidential election cycles, he supported two presidential candidates as head of communications strategy, advising on campaign positioning, public messaging, media engagement and the coordination of campaign communications.

He holds a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he was an Edward S. Mason Fellow.
