Serial Founder | Data Science Practitioner | Youth Mental Health & Agentic Advocate

As a serial founder, I thrive on seeing the world through fresh eyes, constantly seeking new possibilities to make a lasting impact.

Drawing inspiration from Marshall McLuhan's insight that "we shape our tools and then our tools shape us,” I operate under a simple principle; What’s past and present is prologue - ie how I might feel about a particular situation in the future is going to reliably appear (sometimes in veiled form) in the way I analyse things in the present. 

This exploration continuously leads me to ponder the fundamental question: What does it truly mean to be human in a world shaped by technology and innovation?

With a background in entrepreneurship, I possess a deep understanding of market dynamics and a relentless drive for continuous learning. My passion and motivation lies in harnessing the power of data to inform strategic decisions and catalyse organisational growth, particularly in the areas of international development through economic empowerment. I am a strong advocate for evidence-based decision-making process that turns insights into actionable strategies; because without data, I am just another person with an opinion.

How others can help me

Central to my mission is the empowerment of young minds to embrace agency, harness the potential of data and technology, and contribute to a world brimming with possibilities. By fostering a culture of innovation and informed decision-making among the next generation, I aim to nurture a collective drive towards a flourishing future.

How I can help others

Join me on this transformative journey as we explore the intersections of technology, innovation and society, shaping a future that resonates with optimism, purpose, and enduring impact.
