About

Driving the Future of Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security | Expert in AgTech, Climate Resilience, and Value Chain Development

I help international organizations, NGOs, and individuals design and manage impactful projects in food security, sustainable agriculture, and green economy transitions. Leveraging cutting-edge AgTech, data-driven innovation, and gender-sensitive approaches, I empower rural communities—especially women and youth—to achieve sustainable livelihoods and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

With over 12 years of experience driving agricultural growth across Africa and beyond, I have successfully secured over $12 million in funding, developed training programs that have impacted thousands, and led transformative projects that integrate regenerative agriculture, climate resilience, and sustainable value chain development. My expertise spans digital agriculture, precision farming, and market research, making me a valuable partner in addressing the challenges and opportunities of today’s food systems.

I hold an MBA in Food Security, a degree in Agricultural Engineering and Post-Harvest Technology, along with several certifications in Agriculture, Circular Food Systems, and Sustainable Development. My work includes collaborating with global partners and influencing agricultural policies that shape the future of food production and distribution.
