About

Were

I am an empath navigating the digital frontier, with code for a heart. I've architected growth for brands across the globe, from fledgling startups to FMCG giants. My superpower? Building digicentric, cross generational, high-impact work, with future-proof teams that crave to dominate evolving markets.

My vision: To be a part of creating a thriving Africa, a continent redesigning her tech, healthcare, and education economies for her own and beyond. I see myself as a technocrat enabling multi-million dollar realities, fueled by social good.

When I'm not building the future? You'll find me lost in the throes of a podcast, latching on a book about humanity, learning from higher sapiens or chasing a well-placed shot on the holographic green.
