About

I am a Chief Financial Officer with 17 years of experience in corporate finance, strategy, and business transformation across Africa and international markets. I work with entrepreneurs and leadership teams to build robust financial structures, scale their businesses sustainably, and navigate complex strategic transitions.

My expertise spans financial planning and performance management, fundraising strategy, governance, and multi-country expansion. I combine hands-on operational insight with a strategic perspective to help founders transform vision into scalable, resilient business models.

Driven by a passion for knowledge-sharing and collaborative growth, I contribute to Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem as a mentor on VC4A, supporting founders and impactful ventures in their growth journeys.
