The future of AI will be shaped through global collaboration, where systems, talent, and innovation move across borders to drive shared progress.

At 19 in Nairobi, I saw a computer for the first time. That moment sparked a journey that led me to the U.S., where I studied computer science and software engineering, and spent over 20 years building large-scale systems across healthcare, finance, and cloud infrastructure.

I’ve led transformations for global hyperscalers, designing platforms that power AI, optimizing server supply chains, and scaling innovation across industries.

For five years, I’ve worked with startups in Kenya and seen firsthand the execution gaps that stall great ideas. The insight was clear: talent is everywhere, systems are not.

Clutch Foundry was built to change that. We equip AI startups in emerging markets with the infrastructure, support, and execution needed to scale globally.

Let’s build the future together.

I envision a world where AI and machine learning are powerful forces for transformation, unlocking new possibilities and reshaping industries. With over two decades of experience leading data science and AI initiatives, I’ve built cutting-edge solutions in fraud detection, risk management, and financial services—applying technology to solve complex, high-impact challenges.

My work has spanned building AI-driven security frameworks, optimizing global supply chains, and developing data-driven strategies that drive meaningful change.

Now, I’m leveraging this expertise to launch Clutch Foundry, a platform designed to empower AI startups. By providing the right resources, strategic guidance, and a collaborative ecosystem, we help founders navigate the hurdles of execution and scale their ideas into world-class AI ventures. Our mission is to cultivate innovation without limits—where talent, technology, and bold thinking come together to shape the future.
