What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead city-scale development, facilities, sustainability, infrastructure, or AI alignment work where I can build strategic public-private partnerships, improve operational performance, and deliver measurable long-term value.

I've led city-scale infrastructure, sustainability, and operational strategy at Rendeavour's Alaro City, delivering a five-year plan that achieved 25% economic growth in its first year. I managed B2G partnerships, city services, utilities, HSE, environmental management, and infrastructure investments of approximately $150 million.

Across Alaro City, Tatu City, Everty, Total Facilities Management, Nuberit Properties, and Airtel, I've improved uptime, reduced energy use and operating costs, strengthened service delivery, and led large facilities teams. I bring practical experience in smart-city systems, ESG, facility lifecycle management, project delivery, real estate, and AI training and alignment.
