Seasoned robotics engineering and business leader driving productisation and commercial growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned robotics leader and innovator with extensive experience founding, scaling and commercialising robotics and 3D-printing businesses across Africa, EMEA and globally. I lead multidisciplinary hardware and software teams to deliver industrial products for extreme environments and manufacturing-as-a-service platforms.
As SVP EMEA at OffWorld and founder of Ryonic Robotics and Africa's first IIoT-integrated 3D print farm, I established regional operations, grew teams rapidly, secured engineering milestones and drove market entry and revenue growth. I have led projects valued over $100M, completed rapid facility builds praised by industry partners, and steered product industrialisation and successful exits.
I now consult and advise startups on hardware, software, SLAM, computer vision, AI and business strategy, and seek roles where I can combine product development, team leadership and go-to-market execution to bring complex robotics and manufacturing solutions to market.
