At Swizzsoft Systems Limited, I lead business development for ERP, fintech, and enterprise technology solutions.

At Surestep Systems and Solutions, I generated over KES 36 million annually through technology sales, with a peak annual revenue contribution of KES 46 million. I managed a portfolio of more than 60 accounts and developed opportunities across government, financial services, education, and other sectors.

Earlier, I founded and led JENGO LANGU REAL ESTATE LIMITED, where I managed construction-material procurement and supplier relationships.
