Biography

I spent most of my childhood in a small Kenyan town before being awarded the opportunity to pursue my tertiary education at Cambridge University, UK. I then joined Microsoft at the Redmond headquarters and my most recent success has been in the corporate citizenship arena amalgamating Microsoft research efforts with my technical standards work for developing countries. But even though, I have been exposed to great advances in science, I keenly believe that humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries – but in how these discoveries are applied to reduce the atrocious disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair. It is, consequently, my fervent hope that the Cambridge MBA will give me a cavernous multifaceted insight into business economics to design business models that can make market forces work better in applying the existing technologies to solve the world’s deepest inequities.
