What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a new opportunity where I can add value through business development, strategy, supply chain, operations, and business intelligence across emerging markets.

I co-founded MaxiCash, a fintech startup in payments and remittance, where I drove remittance revenue and oversaw operations in Central Africa.

I grew merchant networks and retail app users while leading business development across emerging markets.

I also co-founded and served as Managing Director of Pluritone, a software development company focused on business systems integrations and customisations for banking and credit bureau industries.

My background includes customer availability management at Microsoft SA, demand planning and logistics at Nokia SA, and launching and running Arturo Restaurant, overseeing daily operations, staffing, and guest experience.
