Nairobi County, Kenya
Recognized as one of the "Top 25 Women in Digital 2024," I am director-level executive with 18+ years of experience building sustainable economic ecosystems across Africa and the Middle East. I translate complex technological innovations into actionable, macroeconomic roadmaps. Operating at the intersection of digital transformation, public policy, and capital mobilization, I align the priorities of senior governments, global tech companies, and multilateral institutions to drive systemic impact. My career is defined by cross-sector adaptability. I seamlessly bridge the gap between digital public infrastructure and fiscal sustainability, leveraging deep financial expertise and agile leadership to execute multi-country initiatives and deliver measurable outcomes from day one. Core competencies that drive my impact include: ► DEVELOPMENT FINANCE & PROJECT MANAGEMENT Leveraging my CPA background and ongoing MSc in Development Finance, I oversee complex project lifecycles. My track record includes unlocking co-financing, stewarding multi-million-dollar grant portfolios, and establishing strategic alliances with the World Bank, AfDB, UNDP, and IFC to scale national projects. ► DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AT SCALE I orchestrate massive digital public infrastructure strategies, including MEA-wide AI Country Plans and national skilling campaigns reaching 13M+ individuals. I actively shape continental governance frameworks—like the African Union's "Blueprint for Digital Transformation of Agriculture"—ensuring resilient, future-proof systems. ► VALUE NEGOTIATION & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT As an INSEAD-trained negotiator, I navigate sensitive policy environments and build consensus. I have spearheaded complex negotiations between Ministries of Agriculture, National Treasury, and the Office of the President (Kenya) to secure executive approvals, mobilize capital, and embed digital roadmaps into macroeconomic priorities. ► ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP & CHANGE MANAGEMENT Certified as a PROSCI® Change Management Professional, I utilize an agile approach to safely guide organizations through systemic ambiguity. I build trust, manage reputational risk, and drive successful execution across dispersed global virtual teams during complex institutional transitions and crises. I am driven by a mandate to build digitally enabled, fiscally sustainable systems that empower governments, citizens, and local economies to thrive in the global digital economy.
