I’m passionate about mentoring because I believe in its power to unlock potential, especially in emerging markets like Africa. Having benefited from mentorship myself, I understand how the right support can shape someone’s path and elevate their career. I’m passionate about mentoring startup founders because I know how important the right guidance can be in navigating the challenges of building and scaling a business. Having worked closely with startups, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles founders face in aligning their vision with global market demands and managing talent effectively. My focus is on helping founders develop strong product management and marketing strategies, refine their brand identity, and scale their teams to meet international standards. I’m committed to empowering founders to build sustainable businesses that thrive in both local and global markets.

I mentor because I’m passionate about giving back to the startup ecosystem and supporting entrepreneurs who are navigating growth challenges. It’s a way for me to contribute to the community while learning about emerging industries and innovative business models. Mentorship also allows me to form connections, both personally and for the organizations I represent. And it creates opportunities for growth and collaboration. It’s a mutually rewarding experience where I can share insights while continuing to learn and expand my network.
