What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end, multi-stakeholder initiatives where I can translate strategy into launched products, partnerships, and operating models across healthcare, financial services, and Africa's digital ecosystem.

I've led strategy, product, and programme delivery across IBM, The Rockefeller Foundation, SweepSouth, Dalberg Advisors, and independent consulting engagements. I turn complex multi-stakeholder ideas into working solutions, from strategy and commercial models through MVP launch and handover.

At SweepSouth, I launched an insurance partnership that reached 50,000 bookings in one month and led product strategy through the pandemic. I also founded The Wellth Well, a holistic wellness community and marketplace connecting psychotherapy, somatic, physical, and alternative healing practitioners.
