A Bit About Me
As Chief Data Officer at Stahili, I lead our mission to make real-time, high-quality field data available to the organisations shaping Kenya’s future. Every day, more than 40,000 people share survey responses through our platform, creating a live pulse of how the country thinks, feels, and acts.
We use this data to help businesses, policymakers, and investors make better decisions. Whether it’s improving access to energy, enhancing financial inclusion, or understanding shifts in consumer behaviour, our insights help turn data into action.
If you’re building products, policies, or partnerships that depend on understanding Kenya’s people and markets, let’s talk.
