About Me

Purpose‑driven builder of teams, systems, and leaders.

I’m a cross‑industry technology and operations leader who turns complexity into operating clarity. My work sits where strategy, data, and platforms meet the realities of serving customers (and patients). I’ve delivered large programs for Fortune 100 brands and high‑change environments, and I’m known for mentoring leaders and building teams that execute.

Across sectors—healthcare, consumer & retail, travel & hospitality, manufacturing & supply chain, and TMT—I help organizations simplify portfolios, strengthen data integrity, and design flows that improve experience and margin. I bring a board‑relevant lens: value creation; risk & governance (AI, data, privacy, cyber); operating leverage; and adoption that sticks.

Today, I lead Stratevora and advise executives and boards as an independent voice. I publish practical frameworks at YMPlaces and support community capacity building through Tech for Africa.
