I’m passionate about turning bold ideas into ventures that create lasting impact. With 15+ years across technology, agriculture, and mobility, I’ve led teams, scaled businesses, and helped founders turn purpose into performance. As Co-Founder of Babban Gona, I helped improve the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers. Now, as a Partner at Antler, I back exceptional entrepreneurs reimagining Africa’s future and support them in mastering the fundamentals that turn great ideas into enduring companies.I believe access to knowledge and resources shouldn’t be a barrier to building something extraordinary. My mission is to make venture capital more open, practical, and empowering for founders across the continent.
