Bio

Who is Excellence?

I am a trailblazing impact entrepreneur, healthcare innovator, and advocate for gender inclusion in technology. Over the past five years, I have directly transformed the lives of more than 10,000 women and girls across 35 African countries, equipping them with in-demand digital skills and creating pathways to financial independence. My work has been instrumental in breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering sustainable development within communities.

As the founder of Techy Train Incubator, a pioneering social enterprise, I am dedicated to empowering African women through digital skills training and remote outsourcing opportunities. Under my leadership, the incubator has delivered life-changing programs and become a beacon for gender-inclusive economic empowerment. To date, my initiatives have enabled self-employment for over 1,500 individuals and driven systemic change in how women access and benefit from the digital economy.

My academic journey has also shaped my work. As a Mastercard Foundation Scholar, I earned a Master’s in Development Engineering with a specialization in Healthcare Transformations from the University of California, Berkeley. During my time there, I emerged as a leader among my peers, winning prestigious grants and pitch competitions such as the Davis Projects for Peace and the Investing in Inclusion Pitch Competition. My capstone project, “Bridging the Healthcare Gap: A Policy Review on Menopause Care in the United States,” reflects my deep commitment to addressing overlooked healthcare challenges.

My work is rooted in two key focus areas:

  • Economic Empowerment: Through tailored digital skills programs, I connect women to global opportunities in remote work and freelancing, helping them achieve financial stability and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
  • Healthcare Innovation: With a keen interest in childcare and healthy aging (perimenopause and menopause), I design and advocate for solutions that empower women to thrive at every stage of life.

My expertise spans program management, healthcare innovation, gender inclusion, and digital transformation. As a Project Management Professional (PMP), I have consulted for health-tech startups, driving user engagement and product differentiation through strategic insights.

Beyond my entrepreneurial and professional achievements, I am a published author and a sought-after speaker. I have been featured on prominent media platforms across Africa, where I share my vision for empowering women through technology and innovation. My thought leadership has extended to international forums, where I advocate for systemic change that prioritizes women’s wellbeing and inclusion in the global economy.

At the heart of my work is a strong Christian faith and a deep commitment to creating a better future for women and their families. I firmly believe that empowered women create empowered communities, and I see my journey as a mission to design sustainable systems that uplift and transform lives.

Driven, visionary, and impactful, I strive to set new standards for what it means to lead in social innovation and women’s empowerment.
