At Actriv Kenya, I lead ten operational domains and work with 11 direct reports across staffing, recruiting, compliance, operations, and administration. I restructured operations to improve cost efficiency by 28% and introduced KPI- and OKR-based performance frameworks.

At iCoop AI, I built workflows, accountability systems, and partnership frameworks supporting an Africa-first cooperative intelligence platform. I coordinate product development with the needs of cooperatives, institutions, and development partners.

Earlier at Actriv Kenya, I reduced administrative bottlenecks by 35% and redesigned payroll processes to achieve 98% accuracy. At Outgrown Enterprises, I built operating frameworks and reduced operating costs by 20%.
