What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead investment-ready growth for agribusiness and impact-driven startups—combining financial modeling, stakeholder engagement, and gender/climate-focused strategy—while collaborating with partners and mentoring teams to deliver measurable results.

I’m an Agri Business Financial Consultant focused on investment readiness—turning strategy into fundable business cases through robust financial models, valuations, pitch decks, and investor-ready materials.

In my current role, I’ve delivered 20+ investment readiness and fundraising projects across Africa, and I’ve co-led proposal preparation for major funders and programs (including USAID, COLEAD, ITC, and Innovate UK Business Connect), with a clear emphasis on women- and youth-led agribusinesses.

I also drive donor-compliant execution by coordinating program delivery, progress tracking, and partner communications, while improving efficiency through template and process design—such as a division-wide pitch deck template that integrates gender assessment and climate transition strategies.

Beyond consulting, I’ve led startup and accelerator programming as a Programs Lead, trained founders and young analysts through structured bootcamps and curricula, and authored thought leadership on climate finance and gender; together, these experiences shape how I partner with clients—practical, data-led, and mentorship-driven.
