Digitizing the insurance industry to deliver access, trust, and relevance in the African context.
I specialize in embedded insurance solutions that enable OEMs, telcos, banks, and e-commerce players to integrate insurance into everyday experiences. My goal is to simplify protection and increase insurance uptake through digital platforms, while creating scalable, customer-centric models that resonate across diverse African markets.
Key Impact: Commercializing embedded insurance for underserved populations by working with leading insurtechs and local regulators across East and Southern Africa.
Helping global brands navigate and penetrate the African opportunity frontier.
Through a hands-on, insight-driven approach, I support startups, tech companies, and multinationals in crafting localized Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies. From regulatory pathways to partnership mapping, I bridge international innovation with African execution — ensuring launch success, brand credibility, and sustainable growth.
Core Value: Linking global firms with the right African teams, partnerships, and structures for long-term impact.
Building a vibrant, inclusive fashion ecosystem across East Africa.
As co-founder of Bittiner Hub, I’m spearheading efforts to empower fashion designers, tailors, and creative entrepreneurs. Our mission is to support 10,000 creatives in East Africa by creating access to training, manufacturing, co-created brands
, and sustainable markets — transforming fashion into an engine of socio-economic growth.
Vision: A thriving ecosystem where African fashion is locally produced, globally respected, and youth-led.
