Environmentalist turned Business Consultant and Entrepreneur, I bring nearly a decade of experience supporting early-stage entrepreneurs and startups across West Africa. My work bridges business growth strategy, project design & management, and inclusive innovation models across sectors such as Agro/FoodTech, ClimateTech, CivicTech, and Digital Innovation.

My expertise spans five core areas:

Business Growth & Go-to-Market – from strategic diagnostics (vision, customer fit, business model) to sales structuring (CRM, segmentation, pricing) and regional scaling through partnerships and tailored playbooks.

Entrepreneur Support Program Design – including mentorship frameworks, bootcamp facilitation, startup assessment, and incubation/acceleration toolkits.

Agro & FoodTech Innovation – supporting local food transformation ventures, developing plant-based products, and designing inclusive distribution systems.

ClimateTech & Circular Economy – coaching impact-driven startups working on energy, waste, and climate adaptation, and structuring green business models.

CivicTech & Social Innovation – helping platforms drive citizen engagement, public service innovation, and financial sustainability.

As founder of MYKLAB (2024), a lab for monetizing skills and competencies, and Bethel Kebab (2017), pioneering vegetable meat in West Africa, I blend entrepreneurship and innovation. I have served as Head of Training at PrimeClass, consultant for CUBE (UNDP, UNCDF, OIF), and Business Growth Expert at Seedstarsand Energy Generation. In 2022, I led support programs for 85 entrepreneurs and helped secure 80 grants.

🌍 As a YALI RLC Accra & TEF fellow, and a mentor with JobGlasses and AfricanChangemakers, I bring a deep network and field-tested experience across Francophone and Anglophone Africa. I’ve personally trained over 300 entrepreneurs, with a strong focus on gender-inclusive entrepreneurship.

💡 I believe in acting locally to generate scalable, sustainable impact. My approach is holistic, integrating the social, business, and spiritual dimensions of entrepreneurship through empathy and active listening, to help founders build ventures that align with both market and mission.
