Get to know Me

I am an author, writing coach, publisher, and leadership development catalyst with over two decades of experience engaging with people across the globe. Driven by a passion to empower individuals to share their stories and spark transformation, I have trained authors, consulted on publishing innovation, pioneered impactful publishing initiatives, and helped revitalize struggling publishing ventures. I’ve also had the privilege of coaching, training, and consulting with leaders while providing strategic thinking and support to individuals and organizations.

As the Global Publishing Development Coordinator for the United Bible Societies, I’ve spent the past decade championing collaboration and innovation. I also serve as a Trainer with Media Associates International (MAI), a founding trustee of MAI Africa, and a co-founder of the Publishing Institute of Africa. Academically, I hold a PhD in Business Administration (Leadership & Governance), a DBA from SMC University (Switzerland), an MBA, and a Bachelor of Education.

As an author and thought leader, I’ve co-authored books, including African Christian Leadership: Realities, Opportunities and Impact; Transformational Corporate Leadership; and The Kenya National Anthem: Our Prayer & Heritage. Let’s connect and collaborate to drive meaningful impact in publishing, leadership, and innovation.
