I deliver complex African infrastructure, data centre, and commercial projects.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading strategic partnerships and client relationships at Hodari Africa while overseeing data centre, hotel, and commercial developments across African markets.
I've managed cross-border delivery in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritius, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe, coordinating consultants, procurement, reporting, compliance, and stakeholder expectations.
My project work includes the USD 22 million ADC Data Centre in Lagos, the OADC roll-out programme, a 22,000m² mixed-use development in Nairobi, and the delivery of major office, hospitality, industrial, and healthcare projects.
Before project management, I spent thirteen years in the British Army. That experience shaped my resilience, practical leadership, and people-first approach to delivering structured outcomes in demanding environments.
