What I'm looking for

I seek senior corporate or advisory roles with responsibility for driving growth, forming partnerships, structuring deals, and delivering commercial impact while working closely with executive leadership.

I am a senior strategy and advisory professional with founder-led experience supporting executive teams on growth, partnerships, and complex projects. I work as an extension of leadership to improve execution, align stakeholders, and deliver commercial outcomes for companies and institutions.

As Founder & Principal Advisor to multiple ventures since 2020, I have led partnership development, deal structuring, and commercial planning, and supported real estate and investment projects across residential, commercial, and development assets. I have worked directly with leadership teams to strengthen decision-making and execution.

I have delivered strategy and advisory work across corporate, institutional, cultural, and startup ecosystems — including training in public speaking and corporate communication, residency support for founders, and consulting on a KSh 150 million lake gas project and arts and media initiatives.
