Diverse.
Founder, operator, and builder — working across financial markets, software, and media.
I describe myself in one word: Diverse. Not scattered — deliberate. I build businesses across sectors that most people treat as separate: financial markets, enterprise software, consumer AI, and media.
My background sits at the intersection. I hold a Bachelor of Film Production & Animation from Multimedia University of Kenya and spent my earliest professional years inside Andela as a software engineer, then moved into creative leadership at Scope Markets before founding companies of my own.
I build for durability — software that ships, businesses that compound, relationships that last. Beyond business I serve through Rotaract and hold Paul Harris Fellow recognition from Rotary International.
