I am a seasoned leader in banking, finance, and technology with a rich background in advising and driving growth for established companies and startups. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of finance and tech, I have led multi-country fintech teams and provided strategic counsel as a ranked financial services lawyer.

My journey began with my first venture capital advisory work in 2010, setting the stage for a career dedicated to pioneering innovations in banking and technology.
Having collaborated with industry giants like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Uber, I bring a deep understanding of market dynamics across Africa, the UK, and the US. My expertise includes structuring and negotiating commercial technology agreements, guiding market entry and expansion, navigating regulatory landscapes in multiple jurisdictions and product development. I have a proven ability to facilitate strategic partnerships, lead complex financing transactions, and craft high-impact solutions that align technology with business objectives.

Currently, I serve on several boards and governing councils, where I advise C-suite leaders and founders on strategic decisions. I am also passionate about mentoring startups, helping them scale and navigate the complexities of today’s business environment.

My professional superpowers include fostering value-enhancing partnerships, leading cross-border financing with global financial institutions, and shaping the future of tech-enabled financial services.
