I am finance and banking professional, however my career took a slightly different direction. My passion is in Entrepreneurship, Info-graphics development and Community rehabilitation. My entrepreneurship spirit dates back to the challenges that surrounded me as I grew up which forced me to be hardworking to harness available opportunities using the little resources that I had at my disposal.
I’m the co-founder of The Icon Entrepreneurship Platform (TIEP), which is an assemblage of the Icon Magazine, as our flagship innovation, experiential learning sessions, and the Annual Icon Entrepreneurs Forum.
I'm the Country Director of Matendo International. Matendo International is a CBO that works with rural communities to address poverty and disease through sponsoring children to attain education, promoting primary healthcare and implementing safe water and sanitation campaigns. I have chosen to work with young people because they are the leaders of today. I also work with communities because they are the heart of society.
I encourage the young people to harness the institutional and numerical strength to be the torch bearers of today's sustainable development agenda.
#The young people are no longer leaders of tomorrow, but today!!
