I coordinate high-impact programmes, operations, and executive delivery across Africa.
What I'm looking for
At Passion Profit Limited, I coordinate donor-funded regional initiatives, connecting development partners, technical experts, vendors, and programme teams. I directed delivery across competing timelines and managed logistics for the AccelerateHER 2.0 Summit, supporting approximately 150 regional delegates.
Previously at TradeSmart Consult, I supported FinEquity Africa programmes advancing women’s financial inclusion, inclusive trade, and agricultural value chains. I coordinated an annual convening in Addis Ababa for more than 200 delegates and built partnerships that expanded financial literacy and value-chain training.
As Founder of Edibowl Foods Limited, I built a food manufacturing business focused on reducing post-harvest losses through value-added processing. I grew revenue by 60% between 2020 and 2021, built operating systems across procurement, production, finance, and sales, and earned the KAYANA Female MSME Award in 2023.
I bring more than 10 years of experience in programme coordination, executive support, operations management, stakeholder engagement, and process improvement. I’m committed to building efficient systems and helping teams deliver measurable impact in dynamic, multicultural environments.
