I am a facilitator, advisor and public speaker supporting business, government and civil society leaders to drive positive social change. My pursuit is implementing strategies that foster digital equality and innovation across Africa. My tactical focus rests on delivering impact at a community level, cost-effectively and efficiently. I serve on boards and provide cross-sector counsel to diverse leadership. In short, I facilitate conversations that inspire new directions. 

​

As a serial entrepreneur focusing on the power, potential and contradictions of the digital and entertainment landscape in Africa, my skill and art has been my ability to see the gap between the frames. To ask the difficult questions that open up fresh perspectives. To explore the ingenuity and creativity of spaces that unsettle us. To look and listen for new ways of doing things. 

​

Now more than ever, we need to re-look and re-design our societal systems. Fringe cultures, indigenous wisdom, surprising strategies of survival on the messy, less visible edges of society – all offer clues to richer, more effective, more meaningful ways of being, both in business and in our personal lives.

It took recovering from cancer to realise that I needed to come home to myself, relook at my own systems, and deeply question the unseen gaps in my own world. What has become clear: I am at a turning point in my life. Taking stock of decades of passion-fueled work, I can now be most effective sharing what I’ve learnt.  Moving key issues forward in larger venues as a global speaker, advisor and facilitator.

​

I would love to be your field guide into the rich potential of Africa’s urban territories in our uncertain, fragile world.
