Keynotes and workshops
Most people speaking about artificial intelligence in finance have never signed off on a control. Each talk runs as a forty-five minute keynote, a ninety-minute workshop, or a half-day session, rebuilt for the audience rather than repeated. Delivered across Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, Ghana and Mauritius.
Where machine learning genuinely improves financial planning, forecasting and fraud detection, and where it introduces exposure that existing controls were never built to catch.
How non-executive directors question models they cannot read, and the assurance evidence they should be demanding from management.
What changes for detection, investigation and evidence when both the fraudster and the fraud team are using AI. Drawn from casework and expert testimony.
The security questions a leader must be able to ask, and how to tell a competent answer from a confident one.
A practical map of what to automate first, what to leave alone, and how to measure whether it worked.
Where AI helps human resources functions, the bias and privacy exposures it creates, and the governance a people function needs before it deploys.
Turning information into insight, foresight and influence. Built for the people who sit closest to the decision but rarely make it.
How senior leaders combine incomplete data, competing counsel and personal exposure into a decision they can defend afterwards.
The professional's transition roadmap, from a career built inside institutions to an enterprise that survives outside them.
Why a book outperforms a marketing budget for professionals selling expertise, and what it genuinely takes to finish one.
Delivered Practical AI for Finance: Use Cases, Controls and Governance, a full session on the ACCA Eastern Africa programme at the Nairobi Serena Hotel, alongside speakers from Standard Chartered, KPMG and RSM.
Speaking contribution at the 5th KIM Strategic Leadership Conference, Diani.
Two sessions, including The Executive Assistant as an Organisational Integrator.

Non-executive and advisory
Three decades in systems, assurance and risk, six of them leading analytics and cybersecurity audit for a pan-African banking group across ten regulatory jurisdictions. I have presented fraud investigation findings as an expert witness before a court of law, and have held three board seats. I am open to non-executive appointments, audit and risk committee membership, and board advisory work on AI adoption, data governance and cybersecurity oversight.
Led the group's data analytics audit function across ten African countries. Designed the group-wide analytics audit strategy and introduced AI and predictive analytics into audit processes across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.
Technology governance and systems oversight for one of Kenya's oldest member institutions.
Governance of the Kenyan chapter of the global professional association for information systems audit, risk and control.
Governance of the Kenyan chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Directed technology and data analytics audits across ten markets, and served on the Barclays global data analytics management team.
Built the East Africa practice from Kenya into Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Mozambique and Ghana, leading a team of eighteen. Clients included the Central Bank of Kenya, KCB, Kenya Airways and Kenya Power.
Systems and business analysis within one of East Africa's largest general insurers, bridging underwriting operations and the technology carrying them.
Designed and built underwriting, claims and policy administration systems for general insurers across the region. The foundation for everything that followed: I audited systems like these later because I had written them first.
Registered in 2018 and built alongside a full-time corporate mandate, operating full-time since 2024. Advisory and enterprise development across East Africa, Zimbabwe and Ghana.
