Data & Analytics Product Owner at Merck KgaA

I am a seasoned innovation consultant specializing in technology-driven solutions for supply chain optimization. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications & Information Engineering from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology (JKUAT) in Kenya, where I cultivated a strong technical foundation and gained insights into complex systems. Building upon this, I furthered my education with a Master of Science in Strategic Innovation Management from the University of Sussex (UK), equipping myself with strategic thinking and innovation frameworks crucial for driving transformative change in complex organizational environments.

My professional journey has been marked by diverse experiences in collaborating with multinational companies and brands, where I've honed my expertise in innovation and digital transformation within the Supply Chain, Procurement, and Logistics sectors. By harnessing technology and innovation, I have helped organisations navigate digital disruptions, unlock new opportunities, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape. I relocated to Germany through a 1-year postgraduate fellowship called Africa Kommt! Following the completion of the program, I made a deliberate choice to stay in Germany to pursue my current role. The decision was driven by the opportunity to bridge the gap between data teams, stakeholders, and end-users, where I translate complex data concepts into actionable insights that fuel innovation and strategic decision-making. In my current capacity, I am actively shaping the strategic direction of data products by leveraging my expertise to drive value and innovation.
