Bio

I am a passionate about many things, but most importantly solving problems. I wear many hats in my pursuit of solving problems: I am a lawyer, trainer, techpreneur and toastmaster. To help young entrepreneurs, I co-founded Genius Executive Centre, the first business incubator in Kenya that went on to graduate 3000 startups. I also developed The Incorporator, an online company formation portal that has incorporated over 5000 businesses. I launched EVA, a virtual call centre platform that is providing employment to more than 3000 freelance call centre agents. I created Vine, an healthcare premium financing app that is allowing thousands of SMEs to access high quality healthcare. Currently, I practice law at Harry Karanja & Company Advocates where I specialize in litigation and trial at the Small Claims Court. I take time to understand the nature and background of the problems faced in order to help resolve disputes in the most efficient and beneficial way to our clients.
