What I'm looking for

I’m open to collaborations, consultancy engagements, and mentorship partnerships, especially work that helps people and organizations innovate, grow, and create lasting impact.

At CREMES International, I lead research and advisory projects across Kenya, helping organizations make data-driven strategic decisions. My work spans market entry research, feasibility studies, and social impact program design and evaluation.

I founded Sirimali Ventures, an entrepreneurship support and angel investment firm that helps early-stage founders validate ideas, develop business models, refine strategy, and prepare for growth.

Through Digital Opportunity Trust Kenya, I trained youth and women in entrepreneurship and Basic ICT; 500 participants transitioned into business or gainful employment. I also supported the Women in Gig Work Mentorship project with mentor mobilisation, content development, workshops, and tracking.

As a Business Consultant at Plutus Consulting Ltd., I worked across qualitative and quantitative research, business development, and social entrepreneurship. I’m open to collaborations, consultancy engagements, and mentorship partnerships.
