WHAT PROBLEM IS BEING SOLVED? 

Inspired by the powerful words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the South African Nobel Peace Prize-winning anti-apartheid activist—"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in."

I’ve dedicated my life to going upstream. I focus on uncovering the systemic forces that drive individuals into the rivers of disparity and work collaboratively with others to create sustainable solutions that tackle the root causes of inequity. My mission is to redesign workplace culture and healthcare systems, ensuring they are equitable, fit for purpose, and culturally appropriate, ultimately reflecting and serving the communities they aim to support.

My approach integrates Kenyan cultural principles, particularly Harambee—the power of collective strength—with Western methodologies to challenge the status quo, reshape narratives, and reimagine the systems that shape our lives. This fusion of tradition and innovation allows me to lead transformative change in both workplace culture and healthcare service delivery.

With two decades of cross-cultural lived experience and leadership across the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, I am deeply attuned to the complexities of these systems. My qualifications in psychology and counselling provide me with valuable insights into human behaviour, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal dynamics—skills essential for navigating and transforming these intricate systems.

Guided by Harambee, I partner with like-minded individuals and organisations to create a future-ready world where systems not only withstand disruption but deliver lasting, values-driven transformation. Together, we can revolutionise workplace cultures and healthcare, ensuring they truly meet the needs of our diverse, evolving communities.

Acknowledgement To Country

I pay my respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. Representing the oldest living culture in the world, First Nations people have been the traditional custodians of this land for more than 65,000 years. Australia is the only Commonwealth country that does not have a signed treaty (a formal agreement with the government and Indigenous people).
