She is Founder and CEO of Hagush, a nonprofit social enterprise on a mission to build a just and inclusive economy by making digital technology access universal across Sub-Saharan Africa. She is also the creator of Toll, a diagnostic and process design platform that introduces a new measurement framework — the Burn Index — to make the collective cost of citizen-state interactions visible for the first time, giving agencies, advocates, and organizations a rigorous tool to assess whether public-facing processes are delivering the maximum public value they can deliver. She is Co-Chair of Shifting the Funding Paradigm, an initiative powered by Catalyst Now producing research, frameworks, and practical solutions to rethink how the social sector funds complex problem-solving at scale.
