I build data-driven digital products that improve activation, retention, and revenue.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Ogilvy Africa, I own product lifecycle delivery for four regional digital platforms across fintech, telecom, and financial services, helping secure $200K+ in annual retainer renewals. I translate enterprise client needs into product vision, quarterly OKRs, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes.
I earned my promotion from Senior Product Designer to Product Manager after leading a fintech onboarding redesign that reduced drop-off from 38% to 17% in six weeks and protected $80K+ in annual retainer revenue.
I build practical systems that help teams move faster: RICE prioritization increased sprint velocity by 30%, while a hypothesis-driven experimentation framework delivered an 18% CTR lift and 12% bounce-rate reduction. I lead distributed squads across Nairobi, Lagos, and Johannesburg through async-first workflows.
My design engineering background lets me prototype in Figma, validate ideas in React and Next.js, and use analytics to make better product decisions. Earlier, I delivered mobile-first directory products, improved page-load times by 40%, and developed go-to-market strategies that increased organic traffic and lead conversion.
