About

I’m passionate about mentoring because I’ve seen how the right guidance can unlock transformative ideas. With over a decade of experience building digital products across agriculture, finance, and development in Africa, I’ve led high-impact teams and designed tools that reach thousands, from USSD platforms to full-scale AI, mobile and web solutions.

At Crop2Cash and beyond, I’ve helped smallholder farmers access better services through digital infrastructure. My background combines product strategy, software engineering, and ecosystem building, providing me with a strong understanding of what it takes to move from concept to impact.

My focus areas include:

AgriTech & Inclusive Digital Innovation:
I support entrepreneurs building tools for underserved communities, with hands-on experience in offline-first systems, agricultural data, and last-mile delivery for over 500k users.

Product Development & Business Growth:
I help founders shape sustainable business models and growth strategies, drawing from my work in product-market fit, funding proposals, and systems thinking – unlocking over $3M credit and generating over $4M in revenue.

Tech Talent & Ecosystem Development:
I actively mentor developers and teach coding to young people, committed to growing Africa’s next generation of tech leaders.

I’m especially interested in mentoring people working on agriculture, financial inclusion, and climate resilience. I value bold thinking, empathy, and solutions grounded in real-world contexts. Let’s build something meaningful—together.

Mentorship motivation

  • I like to learn about industries and new businesses
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

I want to mentor because I believe in giving back to the startup ecosystem that has shaped my journey. Supporting emerging entrepreneurs enables me to share valuable insights while staying attuned to the latest developments in innovative industries and fresh ideas. Mentorship is also a strategic way for me to identify promising ventures where I can contribute more deeply, whether as an advisor, board member, or partner. Ultimately, it’s about meaningful exchange: offering guidance while building new connections that benefit both me and the organisations I represent.
