Finance & Business Management Professional
CPA-level finance professional with 6+ years building and scaling companies in fintech and operations. Community leader, published author, and emerging full-stack developer.
Profile
I am a finance and business operations professional with deep experience building companies from the ground up. From establishing Kokotech's financial and operational structures to scaling Heri Water to over 140 franchises and one million litres monthly, I have consistently operated at the intersection of strategy, systems, and execution.
My fintech career spans both fiat and crypto exchange platforms — co-developing Kokosend and Kokopay alongside Kokotech's CEO, and managing the compliance, reporting, and day-to-day operations that keep them running. I bring the rigour of a CPA background to every financial system I touch.
Beyond finance, I am an active community leader and a published author. My debut book, Between Stone and Memory, retells the legend of Luanda Magere — a story of strength, heritage, and resilience from Luo mythology. I believe storytelling and technology are both tools for preserving and advancing communities.
I am now steadily expanding into software engineering — learning full-stack development alongside my finance career — driven by a long-term ambition to build platforms that serve companies and communities across Africa.
