I spent the first chapter of my career as CEO of Fika, building the tech and organization to physically connect millions of people, resulting in very cost effective rural economic growth. What I'm most proud of is embedding the work into African governments, including building the AI tools to help them plan and manage rural infrastructure, so the impact keeps growing exponentially long after philanthropy dries up.

After a brief detour into private equity, I moved into venture philanthropy and impact investing. Among other things, I now oversee Mulago's scouting, sourcing, and selection process — basically, my job is to find the next generation of social impact unicorns tackling the world's hardest climate, conservation, and development problems. I love learning about big-if-true ideas and the remarkable people behind them. I spend a lot of time on the road visiting the entrepreneurs we back, and even more time figuring out how to help them go big.

At Oxford, I ran Europe's largest student-led fund as Managing Director of the Oxford Seed Fund and led sourcing and screening for the Skoll Venture Awards. Finding extraordinary people with extraordinary ideas is something I've been chasing for a while — and I genuinely love the work.

If you're an early-stage entrepreneur with a big idea, reach out. If you're impact-first and focused on the most vulnerable people and places, that's probably a Mulago conversation. And if you're an Oxford student, faculty, or alumni founder (regardless of impact thesis), I'll connect you with the current OSF leadership.

Dream Big

Inspiring young women and under represented minorities to pursue STEM careers, in particular engineering, is another point of passion. I was part of an IMAX film to do just that.
