About

I’m a product and brand strategist with 8+ years of experience across product management, product strategy, brand development, customer experience, and design—especially in emerging markets across Africa. I love translating user insights into practical product improvements and customer experiences, with a strong design and communications foundation.

Today I focus on electric mobility, partnering closely with engineering, software, sourcing, operations, and commercial teams to plan launches, localize products for different markets, and refine offerings based on rider research and field feedback. I’ve helped grow EV adoption through market expansion efforts, product and feature improvements, and customer-facing brand storytelling across electric motorcycles, charging ecosystems, and digital platforms.
