Managing Director, Yiva Advisory

I am a Strategic Advisor to startups, SMMEs, and the ecosystem builders. I work with first time founders & global innovation programs to ensure strategy translates into scalable execution - with clarity, confidence, and measurable market access. I provide high-level Strategic Advisory, Organizational Development, and Leadership support focused on one outcome: sustainable growth and impact.

For Founders & SMMEs, I offer strategic advisory, coaching and mentorship support to build resilient organizations, unlock strategic partnerships, and accelerate go-to-market.

For Ecosystem Players & Global Programs, I serve as a strategic partner to strengthen program design, improve founder outcomes, and maximize ecosystem-wide impact.

My advisory focuses on 3 critical levers for scale:

1. Strategy to Execution: Bridging the gap from bold idea to scalable business

2. Organizational Development & Leadership: Building organizations & teams that can scale

3. Market Access & Growth: Leveraging strategic partnerships for real traction. My advocacy is centered at the intersection of innovation and inclusion with passion for cleantech innovation, women and youth empowerment, and sustainable development through innovation. My work currently involves strategic advisory to global programs & innovation ecosystem on post-accelerator programs, policy advocacy, technology commercialization, improved market access, maximize impact, strategic partnerships, SMME Development & Post-Accelerator Sustainability.
