I am a technologist, investor, and mining & energy strategist based in Lusaka, Zambia, working at the intersection of policy, capital, technology, and long-term economic development. Over the past two decades, I have worked across Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, the United States, and Zambia, helping organizations and entrepreneurs design strategies, deploy capital, and build systems that endure.
My professional work spans public-interest mandates and private investment pursuits. In Zambia, I am deeply involved in shaping the country’s mining and energy strategy through the Industrial Development Corporation and Industrial Resources Limited.
Alongside my public-sector responsibilities, I am building Ngoli Capital, a Zambia-first investment platform grounded in disciplined capital allocation, systems thinking, and a long-term ownership mindset.
I also co-host Scale Up Africa, a podcast for resilient African entrepreneurs and operators navigating complex markets. Writing is both a thinking tool and a way of contributing to a broader conversation about how Africa builds durable institutions and enterprises.
At the core of my work is a belief in long-term thinking: Africa’s future will be shaped not by quick wins, but by patient capital, capable institutions, skilled people, and a willingness to build systems that outlast individuals.
