About Me

As the CEO of the British Chamber of Commerce Kenya (BCCK), I lead East Africa's premier British business network, representing over 320 UK and Kenyan companies. With over 20 years in business, commercial strategy, and management consulting, I've forged a career marked by innovation, ethical leadership, and tangible impact.
My strong foundation includes executive coaching, business development, and private sector consulting experience from senior roles across Africa. I am actively coaching and mentoring both entrepreneurs, SMEs and leaders from businesses, guiding them on critical areas such as leadership performance, operational efficiency, and strategic planning, ultimately helping them unlock their potential.

I guide individuals to align with values, building confidence and fostering positive change by creating a safe space and utilizing tailored exercises. I also support leaders in embracing new roles, identifying underlying perceptions and providing insights for enhanced confidence and clarity.
Academically, my commitment to development is underscored by an MBA in Coaching, Mentorship and Leadership from York St John University (UK), a Postgraduate Degree in Business Administration from Sunderland University, and an Executive Coaching Diploma from AoEC, UK. I am also certified in Business Growth Mastery, and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
