I am a researcher and strategist based in Nairobi, and most of my work comes back to the same question: whose knowledge counts, how it moves, and who ends up benefiting.
The practical version of that question is how you build the structures that make collaboration work. Governance, funding, convening architecture, and the organizational culture that determines if any of it holds. Over $5.7 million raised, teams built and led across East Africa and globally. I take on a small number of consulting engagements each year.
