Founder

I founded Resilient Futures Network on a single conviction: that education only fulfils its promise when it leads to real economic opportunity. Over 25 years, I have worked at the intersection of education reform, workforce development, and economic inclusion — across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. My partners have included ministries of education, multilateral agencies such as USAID, UNICEF, private foundations, industry leaders, and the communities whose futures depend on getting education right.

Most recently, as Senior Director for Employability and Partnerships at Honoris United Universities — Africa’s largest pan-African private higher education network — I led the employability agenda across 16 institutions, building the employer partnerships and graduate pathways that connect young Africans to the future of work. That experience sits at the heart of everything I do: system-level thinking, cross-sector partnership, and a relentless focus on outcomes that matter for young people and the economies they inhabit.

I have operated in some of the world’s most demanding environments — developing and conflict-affected contexts where resources are constrained and the stakes are high. I bring both the technical rigour and the operational experience to design solutions that work in the real world: managing large, geographically dispersed teams, navigating complex donor and government relationships, and adapting strategies when the ground shifts.

Today, my practice focuses on helping students, education systems, institutions, and organisations build what the next generation truly needs: future-ready skills ecosystems, school-to-work transition models that actually transition, and the public-private partnerships that make workforce development scalable. Recognizing that although the challenge is global, Africa is where my passion is deepest. I look forward to securing the kind of partnerships that bring real change for Africa’s youth workforce.
