Start with the user's problem. Build the business around it.

00 · Origin

My route into product started in agriculture and operations. I studied Agricultural Administration, then became COO at MyFarmbase Africa, helping scale an EdTech and agribusiness platform to 9,000+ active users across West Africa and supporting the launch of 200+ profitable agribusinesses. Automating training workflows reduced administrative overhead by over 50%.

That experience still shapes how I work: understand the people, map the process, find where the system breaks, and build what fixes it. Today I do that as Product Lead at QShop, as Lead Project Manager for government and enterprise platforms at Yoke Solutions, and in the programmes and tools I build on my own time.

01 · Operating instinct

The hard part was never the building.

I enjoy sitting with users, understanding their problems, and turning what I learn into a direction the team can act on. I connect that discovery to business priorities, scoped plans, and prototypes that make decisions easier.

Delivery is part of that responsibility. I work with founders, engineers, designers, and client stakeholders to set priorities, manage scope, and keep work moving. Sometimes the right decision is a better activation flow; sometimes it is self-service tooling that removes recurring work; sometimes it is stopping an idea whose dependencies do not add up.

03 · Community & leadership

As Programme Lead for Morph by TNX Solve, I run a six-week product-building programme for teenagers: sessions, community managers, participant communications, Demo Day, and safeguarding as the Designated Safeguarding Lead. I also facilitated an AI and no-code train-the-trainer workshop for Global Shapers Ota Hub in April 2026, taking participants from problem definition to working prototypes. Since January 2026 I have served on the board of Adlai Heroes Foundation, advising on programme strategy, operations, and digital products.

Looking for a product person who asks the right questions, builds what matters, and stays to make it work? Let’s talk.
