Ecosystem Builder | Founder Impact360 | Faith | Entrepreneurship👨🏾‍🔧 | Technology | Leadership | Africa "From journeys to inspiration—building a future through shared experiences."

I am dedicated to promoting sustainable business practices and establishing a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa. With extensive experience working alongside startup and SME founders, investor firms, and government entities, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and untapped potential within the African entrepreneurial landscape. My passion lies in empowering businesses to thrive sustainably while fostering innovation and inclusivity.

In my role, I guide businesses through their entire journey, from product discovery to scaling:

🔸Product Discovery: I collaborate with founders to identify customer pain points, market needs, and viable business opportunities. This involves conducting extensive market research, user feedback analysis, and brainstorming innovative solutions.

🔸Product Development and Testing: I supervise the creation of prototypes or minimum viable products (MVPs), ensuring they align with market demands. I oversee rigorous testing cycles to validate functionality, usability, and market fit.

🔸Business Scaling: I lead efforts to build scalable business models that optimize operational efficiency and maximize market reach. I also advise on expansion strategies, market penetration techniques, and sustainable practices that align with long-term goals.


In addition to supporting startups and SMEs, I am entrusted with the supervision of programs that empower entrepreneurial ecosystems. I design and implement initiatives that promote capacity building, resource allocation, and policy advocacy to foster economic inclusivity. 

From spearheading workshops under initiatives like Impact360 to giving a hand in managing programs such as WISE WOMEN IN STEM AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, I ensure these programs deliver measurable impact and lasting change.

By combining my passion for entrepreneurship with hands-on experience, I remain steadfast in my mission to position Africa as a global leader in innovation and sustainable development. My commitment to building resilient businesses and inclusive ecosystems reflects my belief in Africa's potential to drive economic growth and redefine global entrepreneurial standards.
