With over 15 years of expertise in program and product management within international NGOs, I have provided technical and strategic leadership in various sectors including Youth Employability, Community Development, Sustainable Livelihoods, Economic Empowerment, Education, Health, Advocacy, ASRH & Child Protection. Throughout my career, I have successfully designed, implemented, monitored, and evaluated projects and programs in collaboration with state and non-state agencies, as well as local and international NGOs. My strengths lie in programming, product and data management, strategy formulation and implementation, donor and stakeholder relations, proposal development, grants and partnerships management, adaptive and change management, as well as organizational learning and knowledge sharing using evidence-based approaches. I have a proven track record of achieving results and have collaborated with notable development partners such as The World Bank, FCDO, IKEA Foundation, DFID, Terre Des Hommes, USAID, UKAID, Leonard Cheshire, Chalice Canada, CRS, and others. These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of international development work. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership, fostered partnerships, managed budgets and proposals, facilitated learning and impact assessments, and employed evidence-based approaches to drive positive change. I hold an MBA in Strategic Management from the United States International University - Africa and a Bachelor of Science in Planning and Management from Kenyatta University. I am passionate about creating a marketplace of alternatives to secondary education, addressing youth unemployment, and empowering vulnerable communities. Committed to utilizing monitoring, evaluation, accountability, research, and learning approaches, I thrive on the challenge of implementing and evaluating disruptive solutions that make a lasting difference in people's lives.
