I am a clinical trial professional and strategist helping with the reshaping clinical research in Africa through data-driven insights and bold partnerships. With a passion for transforming healthcare outcomes, I drive clinical trial growth, stakeholder engagement, and ecosystem development across Sub-Saharan Africa. An experienced professional with a 20-year demonstrated history of working in clinical trials in EMEA with a sub-Saharan Africa focus in the last 10 years. Skilled in quality assurance, project management, monitoring, team management and business development across multiple indications.

I relocated to Kenya (from the UK) in 2014 with the aim of bringing the experience and expertise I have garnered over the years to the clinical trial industry in Kenya (and Sub-Sahara Africa as a whole); to bring quality clinical trial solutions to an underserved region. In the last 10 years, while based in sub-Saharan Africa, I have led initiatives that expand clinical trial activity, foster strategic collaborations with global health organizations and unlock opportunities in LMICs. My work bridges the gap between data and decision-making, ensuring that every partnership and project contributes to sustainable, impactful health solutions.

I thrive at the intersection of strategy, science, and partnerships— navigating complex regulatory landscapes, and championing clinical research innovation in emerging markets. Among the close collaborations are key strategic relationships with vaccine manufacturers, site management organisations, logistics and supply chain specialists. These relationships are crucial to strengthening the clinical trial ecosystem in Africa.
