My Orbit
A selected record of where I’ve worked, spoken, published, and contributed — across innovation, digital trade, AI, and ecosystem building.
I work at the intersection of policy, emerging technology, trade, and execution. Over the years, I’ve contributed to institutional programmes, accelerator initiatives, international conferences, publications, and media across Africa and Europe.
This page offers a curated overview of that work — not as a full CV, but as a signal of scope, calibre, and repeatability
