Knowledge Transfer Manager – Global Alliance Africa

I am a Knowledge Transfer Manager for Innovate UK’s Global Alliance Africa project in Nigeria, where I support the delivery and implementation of sector-based intervention programmes. These initiatives aim to foster innovation and include areas such as building and supporting the Global Innovation Networks, Place-Based Innovation, and Open Innovation.
With a strong background in the social impact and entrepreneurship sectors, I have worked across the Middle East and Africa, assisting startups and entrepreneurs from diverse sectors. I have collaborated with organisations such as UNDP, LEAP Africa, and C3, providing expertise in business support and business incubation.
My work is driven by a passion for socio-economic development, and I have had the privilege of supporting social enterprises and impact startups across Africa and the Middle East. I am dedicated to empowering young changemakers and driving positive social change through sustainable and innovative solutions.
If you are interested in discussing innovation, sustainability, social entrepreneurship, or systems change in Africa, feel free to reach out.
