Who I am

A thinker
at the edge of
systems.

I'm a Nairobi-based market intelligence and strategic consultant with over a decade of experience navigating high-stakes environments across healthcare, logistics, agriculture, education, and retail. Currently at IQVIA across the AMESA region — implementing complex projects, driving business development, and accelerating innovation in healthcare — while running an independent practice supporting early-stage founders.

My edge isn't a methodology — it's a disposition toward original thinking. I operate at the level where frameworks are created, not just applied. I ask the questions that reveal what systems cannot figure out themselves, then activate what I find.

I'm multilingual (English, French, Arabic in progress), self-taught in multiple disciplines, and have built transferable capabilities deliberately — increasing the leverage of my time across markets and industries. I've recognized that comfort with being early — acting before a proven template exists — is a rare and compoundable advantage.

Beyond the work: father, footballer, meditator. Presence isn't just a brand word — it's how I operate in every room I enter.

What I do

Where I create
leverage

01

Founder Clarity & Positioning

I work with early and idea-stage founders who are capable but unclear — helping them discover what they're actually building, who it's for, and why it will win. No generic frameworks. Just structured inquiry that reveals the truth.

02

Market Intelligence & Entry Strategy

African markets are nuanced, layered, and misread by outsiders. I synthesize healthcare, consumer, and institutional dynamics across the continent — producing insights that translate into decisions, not reports that gather dust.

03

Strategic Communications

Your strategy is only as good as how it's communicated. I help organizations articulate complex positioning in ways that create movement — from pitch decks and stakeholder narratives to personal brand architecture.

04

Systems Thinking & Innovation

I map the invisible structure beneath organizational problems — reading power flows, narrative ownership, and decision bottlenecks — then design interventions that shift behavior at scale.

05

Thought Leadership & Content

Mindset shifts move markets. I develop content strategies, LinkedIn architecture, and video narratives for leaders who want their thinking to reach the people it can transform — especially across African and emerging markets.

06

Training & Facilitation

I teach systems thinking, entrepreneurial mindset, and strategic clarity through experiential sessions. I'm a facilitator at Sinapis Group, working with founders to move from confusion to action through structured discovery.

How I think

The world doesn't reward those who wait for a proven template. It rewards those who act before one exists — and build the template others follow.
