What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a mission-led organization where I can own revenue end-to-end, enter new markets fast, and negotiate C-suite, ministerial, and institutional deals—building credibility into sustained multi-year, cross-border growth.

I’m a revenue-first enterprise dealmaker and C-suite-ready negotiator, recognized for speed to first revenue and for owning what I build over multi-year, multi-geo engagements. Over 18 years, I’ve personally engineered four separate zero-to-scale revenue turnarounds—converting near-dormant starting points into standing institutional portfolios—by winning direct access to C-suite, ministerial, and university decision-makers across Kenya, Turkey, and the Middle East.

I own the full commercial cycle myself—origination, structuring, negotiation, close, and renewal—turning institutional needs into signed, multi-year deals even against long approval chains and competing priorities. From Drum Magazine’s 40x turnaround and KCA University’s 20x growth, to compounding CCBD’s training and research portfolio from zero to KES 100–120M annually, I’m built to deliver sustained revenue where none existed.
