    Who am I?

    Africa's traditional knowledge is the most underleveraged commercial asset on earth. Not for the unicorns. For everyone in the chain. I'm building on that conviction.

    15 years in revenue operations at Confluent, VMware, McKesson. A year on the ground in West Africa. The most valuable systems are the ones nobody's bothering to read.

    What will you learn?

    • Who captures value at each stage and what it means for your entry
    • Traditional knowledge creating commercial advantages others miss
    • Investment lens that reads the full chain — not just the headline winners
    • Ground truth from someone building inside it, not observing from outside
