My career has been shaped by curiosity about markets and the people who move them. Over the years, I’ve travelled across 47+ countries, studying retail ecosystems not as a visitor but as a learner, observing how distributors, retailers, and brands operate across different cultural and commercial environments. During this journey, I’ve interacted with more than 1300 sales and marketing professionals, collaborating on strategy discussions, market alignment, and growth initiatives. I’ve also trained thousands of product sales professionals, focusing on customer engagement, positioning, and the power of narrative in influencing buying decisions. Alongside these experiences, I’ve conducted market surveys across regions to understand pricing behaviour, promotion effectiveness, and local adaptation strategies. These insights reinforced a simple belief: while markets differ, trust, value perception, and human connection remain universal drivers of brand success. Professionally, my background spans leadership roles across global organisations, including regional retail strategy responsibilities in Africa, followed by building and scaling ventures across markets. Today, I lead Coreve Lifestyle, a women-focused sneaker brand built on the conviction that products for women should be designed intentionally rather than adapted from men’s frameworks. My interests continue to revolve around brand building, retail strategy, and helping founders think with greater clarity when navigating growth, positioning, and expansion decisions.
