I am the co-founder and Head of Operations at Ishango.ai, a social enterprise that develops AI and data solutions for companies globally whilst creating opportunities for data science talent in Africa.

I am a social innovation specialist with 15 years’ experience working at the intersection of technology, gender and entrepreneurship in the UK and across Africa. Prior to setting up Ishango, I was a programme manager at Google where I helped establish #IamRemarkable, a global initiative aimed at boosting the career progression of women and under-represented groups within the technology sector and beyond.

I also founded ATBN, the UK’s first tech community and consultancy connecting the UK and Africa tech ecosystems. At ATBN, I led various entrepreneurship and digital inclusion programmes with funding from Innovate UK, GCRF, Comic Relief and the EU.

I am a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in tech and the author of Founding Women, a book showcasing the inspiring entrepreneurship journeys of 20 African women in tech.

I have a Masters in Social Innovation from the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School where I currently serve as a Social Innovation Fellow of Practice
