Keynote speaker

Bring me to your stage.

I speak on digital transformation, the future of African work, AI for business, and personal branding. I move audiences from inspiration to action, and I always leave them with something practical to do on Monday morning.

Why me on your stage

I don't just talk about it. I live it daily.

I run three digital businesses and train thousands of people every year. So when I'm on your stage, I'm not reciting trends I read about. I'm sharing what is working right now, from someone in the arena. That's what audiences feel, and what makes them act.

How booking works

From enquiry to stage in four steps.

  1. Send details

    Your date, audience, topic, and format. A WhatsApp message is enough to start.

  2. Prep call

    A quick call to align on goals and lock the scope and fee.

  3. I tailor it

    I build the talk around your audience, not a recycled deck.

  4. I deliver

    I show up early, bring the energy, and leave your room with action.

Questions

Before you book.

Where do you travel to speak?

Across Kenya and East Africa, and further afield on request. For events outside Nairobi, travel and accommodation are covered by the host.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Popular dates fill up, and the more notice I have, the more I can tailor the talk to your audience.

Do you speak virtually?

Yes. Virtual keynotes and webinars carry the same energy and value, delivered live to any audience anywhere.

Do you offer rates for students or NGOs?

Yes. I keep special rates for universities, schools, and youth or education causes. Tell me about your event and we'll work it out.

Can you customise the talk?

Always. Every talk is built around your audience and your goals after our prep call. I don't reuse a generic deck.

Let's talk

Let's get you a talk your audience remembers.

Send me your event details and I'll come back with availability and a tailored proposal.
