At Catapult Africa we intentionally focus on two interlinked areas: ESG & Impact Investment and Documentation and Enterprise Development. Over the past 26 years, I have worked in financial institutions and social-profit organizations and successfully ran my own business. Africa needs greater leverage to increase and create greater tractions, have better reputational standing but also have roots in all our areas of focus – I can provide those skills through the above-mentioned areas. Under Catapult Africa, we strive to bring interested African businesses and organizations to understand the conversations, discussions and areas of engagement around these key focus areas. Not only having a seat at the table but ensuring that we are bringing the substantial technical skills needed, having a deep understanding regarding the conversations carried forward, incorporating diversity and inclusion, providing capacity building and preparing sustainability reports in accordance with TCFD Guidelines, GRI, SASB and IIRC standards and guidelines. This means influencing both local and global decision-making; being engaged in effective conversations that will bring about cohesion and clear focus in the future. This also means bringing about clarity as to how we look to establish posterity both for the continent and creating linkages - for the good of people and the planet. Whether you want to establish a new business and all the intricacies around that, are seeking an ESG Strategies Expert, or need to ensure that your Enterprise Documentation Processing is coherent, I can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]. I have the resources and networks to get you started and the passion to help you grow. #esg #impact investment #sustainability #enterprisedevelopment #documentation processing

I set-up Catapult Nature - a commercial entity, to retail and distribute gardening accessories from international and local suppliers while securing sole distributorship after identifying the industry gap in the region. We currently work with well-established and reputable architects, landscapers, and interior designers on sourcing and implementation within the region. We have over ur time of existence provided service to high-profile institutions who have so far included: The World Bank, Citi, The Nairobi Securities Exchange, Commercial Bank of Africa, Best Western Hotel, KPMG, PWC, Dalbit, Fogo Gaucho, General Motors, Airtel amongst a host of other clients.

This unique social business manages commercial properties and supports many dynamic and influential charities and not-for-profit groups. The founder contacted me for help in replicating the company's business model in Kenya. I researched suitable local programs and organizations, developed fundraising strategies, and presented my findings to the company with a detailed report.
