Chief Strategy Officer at TumaTuma, architecting cross-border payment corridors and expanding into the UK and US.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At TumaTuma, I designed the commercial model for international expansion and negotiated 18 strategic partnerships across payment rails, compliance, banking-as-a-service, and diaspora distribution. I also executed market entry into the UK and US and architected funds-flow infrastructure for compliant EUR, GBP, and USD corridors into Africa.
At Afrisend Money Transfer, I conducted a strategic review of operations, corridor profitability, technology, and regulatory posture that helped shape TumaTuma’s expansion roadmap. I’m also advancing Canadian MSB licensing and UAE CBUAE regulatory approval, both in progress.
At Standard Chartered Bank, I led the digitisation of retail lending products, consolidating 65 manual operations into an automated workflow and reducing loan processing times by 65%. I also built the cross-border banking segment from inception to $5.6M in annual revenue and onboarded over 4,000 clients.
