IN BRIEF

About Me

I am a physician, innovation strategist, and entrepreneur passionate about helping people and ideas rise higher through value creation and transformative innovation.
My work sits at the intersection of public health, artificial intelligence, and innovation leadership, where I build systems, programs, and ventures that turn bold ideas into real-world impact.

Over the past decade, I’ve led and co-created initiatives that empower individuals, institutions, and communities to innovate, from building Africa’s leading youth innovation fellowship to commercializing cutting-edge research and driving responsible AI adoption.

My Work

My mission is to create value that transforms lives and systems by connecting ideas, people, and opportunities across health, technology, and leadership.

I do this through three key pillars:

Innovation Leadership & Strategy

Designing frameworks and systems that help people and organizations transform ideas into scalable solutions.

Research Commercialization & Value Creation

Bridging the gap between research and the marketplace by turning knowledge into viable ventures and policies.

AI Governance & Public Sector Innovation

Advancing responsible AI adoption and building governance frameworks that strengthen institutions and improve service delivery.

My Philosophy of Innovation

I believe innovation begins with value: the ability to create, multiply, and sustain what improves life and society.
True innovation is not just about invention; it’s about alignment, connecting creativity with purpose, people, and impact.
My approach integrates science, strategy, and spirituality to help individuals and institutions see innovation not merely as progress but as a calling to serve humanity.

Through this lens, I teach others to build with purpose, lead with clarity, and act with courage, because ideas only matter when they create value for people.

Technology Innovation Workshop

Global Footprint

My work has reached 24 African countries through collaborations with institutions such as WIPO, TETFund, Plan International, the African Union, Innov8 Hub, and the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.

Across these partnerships, I have trained and mentored thousands of professionals, researchers, and innovators, helping to build ecosystems that power Africa’s innovation economy.

Beyond Work

I am the author of Blueprints for Value Creation, The IP Playbook, and InkTimacy — a 20-year writing journey exploring faith, purpose, and transformation through words.

I speak globally on innovation, leadership, and value creation, sharing frameworks and insights that inspire people to think differently, build boldly, and lead with integrity.
