Consultant in Nairobi, Kenya
I love to build things, and interact with people. At an early age, I was fascinated with how complex things organize into self-consistent systems, and was always drawn into maths and physics, an applied mathematical field study.
I was exposed to cutting edge technology when i joined Oracle on a year long internship in 2012, which quickly translated into a full time consulting gig. While working at Oracle, I learned about the trends that will have an immeasurable impact on us in the future.
Nowadays, I’m doing a lot of thinking about the new “experience economy” we are a part of - and striving to be part of the intellectual class that will change the world's fortunes. My main focus will be in Technology transfer, digital strategy development and cultural transformation - by NOT only focusing on tech, but also rethinking culture and the business overall.
Personally, I’m looking to understand how to cultivate a web of deep relationships over time, and professionally looking at understanding how to build an effective organization that can simultaneously execute on a suite of different life changing projects, while challenging the existing capitalistic concepts.
I also want to get better at fitness, and build a better daily rhythm for myself. I strive to find a community of peers that can sharpen who I am, challenge and hold me accountable, and want to go on epic adventures with me.
I think that it’s possible to build a nation, from scratch. I believe that we are transcending geographic boundaries, becoming “location-independent”. You only have to look at our efforts on Mars. I believe that in the future, how you spend your time has a lot more to do “ideological proximity” than geographic proximity.
I believe that we are moving past the “material/cheap manufacturing” based lifestyle, and moving to an economy where people value experiences a lot more. I believe that this is going to be the re-deeming shift that will save our planet from our thoughtless destruction. This is the reason i subscribe to the resource based economy model proposed by the great futurist Jacque Fresco.
I believe that being able to co-create and participate in amazing communities, discover fellow dreamers who yearn to nudge the world to a better place, is the way to live our lives.
I believe that the buck for saving the world stops with us.
