I lead enterprise cloud and cybersecurity engagements that turn technical risk into business value.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Oracle, I lead enterprise cloud and cybersecurity engagements for C-level audiences across East Africa, from strategy and governance through solution scoping, RFPs, adoption and realised business value.
I've led multi-million-dollar engagements and contributed $8M+ through three new Unlimited License Agreements and one renewal for financial-sector clients. My work spans cloud security, database security, Zero Trust-aligned IAM, security posture reviews, vulnerability assessments and executive-ready risk mitigation strategies.
Before Oracle, I led consulting and managed-services engineering teams at NTT Data, delivering managed security services, IT governance advisory and enterprise solutions. I also protected $65,000+ in monthly recurring revenue, designed a managed-services engagement replicated across a sector, and reduced network audit and maintenance execution time by 40%.
I bring 20 years of technology experience, combining hands-on network security foundations with enterprise architecture, governance, commercial engagement leadership and an MBA. I enjoy helping organisations make secure, practical technology decisions that support growth.
