How I came to do this work.

I came to this work through a long road. It started at Igbobi College in Lagos and a pre-medical program at the University of Lagos, ran through Birkbeck, University of London, and an Executive MBA at UNCW Cameron, and eventually led to founding a company. Along the way I learned that the systems around the care, around the decisions, around the operators, were often where the hardest problems lived. Thirty years of enterprise architecture and Fortune 100 program leadership followed: Disney, Southwest Airlines, JCPenney, Vontier. I learned to read complexity, to sit with pressure, and to keep the human at the center even when the platform diagram had eight hundred boxes on it.

I hold United States and United Kingdom citizenship, and I work across both, with operators on the African continent through Tech for Africa, and across the American healthcare landscape through Stratevora.

Today, I lead Stratevora Technologies, a vertical AI and SaaS company helping independent community and rural hospitals recover revenue and meet the federal interoperability mandates now reshaping the sector. I advise boards, CEOs, and founders on enterprise AI strategy, operating-model design, and the program bets that compound or quietly burn the next four quarters. I coach senior operators in transition and founders past the first hire and before the first hundred, one-on-one and in small-group settings, helping leaders perform at the top of their range without losing what makes them worth following. I serve on a small number of boards where my background is load-bearing and decline more than I accept.

I am co-authoring Saving Rural Hospitals: The Transformation Playbook for Routledge, on the institutions doing the hardest work in American healthcare. I chair Tech for Africa, a diaspora-led initiative that connects enterprise-grade technology, mentorship, and capital to operators on the continent. I write about leadership disciplines that outlast cycles. I publish when I have something to say.
