With expertise in Fintech, Strategy Consulting and Consumer Goods & Retail, I develop innovative products and services that drive sustainable outcomes.

Drawing on hands-on experience across 30+ markets, I create impactful strategic initiatives, particularly in emerging markets, improving the connections between finance, suppliers, intermediaries, and SME merchants – frequently leveraging new partnerships and M&A opportunities.

Over the past few years, I have focused on designing commercially viable solutions that align with impact goals. Bringing together large commercial partners, startups, multilateral organisations and DFIs, I have built a strong track record of developing initiatives that drive financial inclusion, diversity, and sustainable consumer choices – delivering profitable, “win-win” outcomes for all stakeholders.

For example, I established Mastercard’s partnership with Unilever and created the “Jaza Duka” ecosystem in Kenya to enable micro stores to grow through financial inclusion. Established in 2017, the program is still growing strongly with >1k transactions per day. The programme won the platinum award at the IFC’s SME Finance Forum.

With extensive experience of working on executive level across complex matrix organisations, I have an excellent track record in verbal and visual communication, developing internal and external partnerships, implementing new initiatives and representing the company on stage at large-scale events.
