My work begins with an ambition, an operating challenge or an idea whose commercial path is still taking shape.
I take responsibility for the commercial assessment, partner search and coordinated follow-through: examining the economics, working with local expertise and developing the next decisions with you.
As a Certified Public Accountant (Kenya) and Certified Practising Accountant (Australia), I bring financial depth, an investigative approach and professional ethics to developing opportunities.
My Management Diploma, specialising in Project Management, and BBA in Finance connect that grounding with people, operations, markets and delivery.
That breadth helps me examine the whole enterprise, identify what is missing and coordinate the expertise needed, with care for the resources and confidence entrusted to the work.
My career began in Kenya’s flower-export industry. Over 13 years across Kenya, Qatar and the UAE, it has encompassed enterprise finance, SME and real-estate advisory, retail and British Embassy corporate services.
I established an enterprise’s financial foundations alongside its founders and carried finance through its first financial-year audit. SME advisory and work on automation and procurement deepened the same discipline: understand the business, examine the decisions and build for continuity.
Professional background ↗Conversations with founders brought a recurring gap into view: useful solutions could remain out of reach because commercial preparation, suitable relationships and sustained development were missing. Funding alone did not resolve that gap.
That is why I enter early, investigate deeply and seek collaborators beyond familiar circles. Africa’s possibilities and eight years in the GCC shape my outlook. Local knowledge, research and skills belong in the work from the beginning.
How the work connects ↗Growth & International Expansion
VoltaHive LLC · United States
Developer of CropRemedy®
My conversation with founder Paul Amelio began with his investment requirements. His demonstration of CropRemedy®, a naturally sourced mineral plant input, led me to recognise potential relevance to African and GCC growers’ soil, water, climate and productivity challenges, alongside demand for healthier food and reduced chemical use. I moved the discussion into commercial and market evaluation and initiated grower engagement through my network. That initiative developed into executive responsibility for international growth and partnerships.
I initiated engagement with Kenyan coffee, herb and kitchen-garden growers through existing relationships, and brought growers and product specialists into direct discussion of local conditions, application and technical questions.
I developed an evidence-programme proposal covering comparisons, original farm records and optional independent testing. I investigated Kenyan laboratory options and indicative costs to connect observations with quality, usable output and grower returns.
I coordinate evaluation follow-through and develop research and prospective distribution relationships. Market-entry work considers application support, logistics, local capability and the economics of adoption.
“We’ve not picked that much at once any other time.”
David had nearly given up on his coffee season. After using CropRemedy®, he described a picking beyond anything he had previously experienced. His account brought a real farm business into a direct conversation with the US team.
Growers’ knowledge helped the US team understand local conditions. Technical support, farm costs and prospective distribution remain part of the conversation.
The financial questions extend beyond kilograms: how efficiently are water, energy, labour and other inputs used? What return does the grower earn?
David’s account describes his farm experience. The proposed wider programme would add comparative measurement and independent testing.
Field evaluations are ongoing. The wider evidence programme, independent testing and prospective partnerships remain in development.
