Professional Portfolio · Kenya & East Africa

Energy advisor. Project manager. Implementation-focused consultant.

I connect engineering, policy, project delivery and finance to move renewable-energy ideas from early analysis to practical implementation. My career has progressed from technical sales and product management into project management, policy advisory, energy infrastructure, access to finance and professional training.

Professional profile

From client-facing technical work to systems-level energy advisory.

My foundation in technical sales taught me how to listen carefully, diagnose customer needs and explain technical products in terms of value, risk and performance. In product management, I developed a wider view of markets, suppliers, pricing, product quality and the complete customer journey.

I then expanded into project and programme management, coordinating technical work, procurement, consultants, budgets, risks and stakeholders. My work in policy advisory and local-government support strengthened my ability to connect regulatory mandates and climate priorities to projects that can actually be implemented.

Today, my work combines energy infrastructure, access to finance and capacity building. I support organisations to assess opportunities, develop technically and economically credible projects, evaluate implementation models, communicate with financiers and strengthen the people responsible for delivery.

How I work

Structured enough for accountability. Practical enough for implementation.

My approach keeps the decision, evidence, stakeholders, financing and implementation pathway connected.

01

Clarify the decision

Define what the organisation must decide, approve, fund or deliver.

02

Build the evidence

Collect technical, financial, institutional and market information proportionate to the decision.

03

Align stakeholders

Clarify roles, incentives, risks, dependencies and required approvals.

04

Structure delivery

Develop the roadmap, procurement route, financing logic and implementation controls.

05

Build ownership

Transfer knowledge and strengthen the team that will sustain the result.

Ways to engage

Energy project development

Why technically viable energy projects still fail to reach implementation.

Projects need more than an audit: ownership, procurement readiness, financing logic and clear risk allocation must also be developed.

Access to finance

What financiers need to see before they consider a solar project.

A credible project explains impact, technical performance, repayment ability, delivery structure and the risks each party will carry.

Project management

Turning energy audits into an implementable project pipeline.

Prioritisation, standardised data, decision gates and accountable next steps prevent technically sound reports from becoming shelf documents.
