Being raised in Kenya caring parents and a dad with strong entrepreneurial drive, I learned early in life to be inclusive of all people, and to value hard work in the pursuit of professional success. I watched my dad transition from a low paying job into becoming a small business owner, building a manufacturing company from scratch. His influence, and that of my supportive mother, has had an immeasurable impact on my personal and professional success.Today as a proactive senior engineering, program, and team leader I leverage those early insights, along with financial, commercial, and technical expertise to drive game-changing product design, business growth and profit. I am quick to assimilate and impact, having been promoted steadily to manage increasingly complex global engineering programs and cross functional teams for varied product lines.
