I’m an award-winning technology entrepreneur and strategist recognised by Forbes 30 Under 30 for my work at the intersection of culture, commerce, and technology.

​

As one of less than 20 black women in the UK to have raised venture capital, my mission is to unlock value where others overlook it — building businesses that blend innovation with cultural depth and commercial scale.

​

I founded Oja, the UK’s first VC-backed ethnic grocery delivery company in the UK backed by investors in the likes of Taster & Deliveroo, raising over $5M and reaching seven-figure annual recurring revenue within its first year. Oja redefined access to cultural groceries and helped shape a new category for inclusive commerce — backed by Europe’s leading venture capitalists and supported by  Premier League & England footballers as brand investors.​

​

Before Oja, I founded WCAN, a diversity recruitment and professional development network supporting over 10,000 Black women into careers in law, finance, consulting, and technology, with partners including Goldman Sachs, Slaughter & May, and McKinsey & Co.

I began my career in Investment Banking at Rothschild & Co and Citi, where I worked across M&A and capital markets before transitioning to entrepreneurship. My early exposure to finance and deal-making still shapes how I build — with precision, discipline, and an investor’s eye for value creation. 

I have spoken at a number of events and have a number of resources and courses including my fundraising guide and courses on Curating a Portfolio Career with AllBright Private Member's Club.In 2014, I was selected by McKinsey & Company as a Next Generation Women Leader.

​​

Today, I advise and invest in early-stage startups globally while building my next venture in stealth. My focus remains constant: clarity, scale, and long-term impact.

Resilient by nature. Strategic by design.
