My expertise lies in providing strategic solutions for distressed businesses, ensuring legal compliance, and optimizing financial performance. I have a proven track record of leading restructuring initiatives that enhance operational efficiency, improve debt recovery rates, and foster strong investor relations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex insolvency cases and mentored junior associates, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in financial analysis and risk mitigation. My experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers Kenya has equipped me with the skills to navigate hybrid work environments, effectively managing both in-office and remote responsibilities. I am passionate about leveraging my financial expertise to drive business growth and support digital transformations.
