Product leader turning messy data into products people use. A decade shipping 0→1 fintech, payments & growth systems across Sub-Saharan Africa.
I’ve spent a decade taking products from a blank page to real scale: merchant fintech rails, payments & VAS platforms, and growth engines for underserved communities and informal retailers.
I’m the kind of PM who reads the SQL, sketches the Figma, A/B tests the hypothesis, then tells the story that gets a room aligned. Equal parts analyst, operator and builder.
Transactions digitized annually on the merchant platform I led at Safaricom.
Growth in transaction volumes within 12 months of new payment integrations.
Increase in active merchants after expanding the digital acceptance footprint.
Markets shipped across: Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda & Tanzania.

Astronomy, AI/ML, Big Data & IoT, photography. The curiosity that reads a night sky is the curiosity I bring to product work.
