What I'm looking for

I'm looking to unlock opportunities between the West and Sub-Saharan Africa through operating leadership, investment management, business transformation, and scalable growth.

I've led major businesses across Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, and the wider Sub-Saharan African market, including Authentix, Medical Rescue International, Botswana Telecommunications Corporation, Microsoft, and Orange. At Authentix, I lead in-country and regional business development and fiscal-marking programs, including Botswana Unified Revenue Services and Rwanda National Fuel Marking initiatives.

As CEO of Botswana Telecommunications Corporation, I delivered its highest-ever revenues and profits, led IPO preparation, and transformed it into a triple-play provider. At Orange Botswana, I moved the company from insolvency to its first profitability, grew the customer base by 45%, and increased market share from 39.69% to 44.7%.
