  Led a major restructuring of KPMG's Advisory business across East Africa, responsible for a sales force transformation across all business units, and opened an office in Ethiopia.

• Management Consultant

  • Jun 2007 - Nov 2013

  Learned the ropes of core consulting skills coming up the ranks starting as an Intern. Traveled to some exotic (Zanzibar) and non-exotic (Wichita) locations, worked for lots of different clients, spent long hours grinding it out, and came out the other side with a few battle scars, loads of anecdotes, and more experience than I ever could have imagined at such a young age. PS. Short sleeve suit jackets are a thing in Malawi!
