Ambitious collaborative programs need more than a strategy. They need someone who can deliver.
I work with foundations, networks, and knowledge organizations to design, launch, and run complex initiatives across East Africa and globally. Over the past 15 years, I have built and led regional teams, raised more than $5.6 million, and worked on multi-country networks and convenings.
Selected work
I have helped build research capacity inside Nairobi’s technology ecosystem, grown two international networks, and supported mission-driven organizations to execute on their visions. See Selected Work
Why this works
I bring a philosophy of work grounded in decolonial scholarship and feminist praxis. For over 15 years I’ve been straddling scholarly and practitioner worlds: in academic spaces, I’m always the one asking the “how” questions, while in the non-profit world, I’m always asking the “why” questions. The sweet spot is when our theoretical visions move closer to the operational realities. If you are preparing or repairing a collaborative initiative and need to make it work better, let’s jump on a Delivery Readiness Conversation.
