- My Expertise
Build Scalable Ventures with Strategic Tech Leadership
I help emerging businesses across East Africa build sustainable technology foundations. Through personalized guidance on technology selection, business model refinement, and operational strategy, I enable startups to navigate the unique challenges of our regional markets
Service Overview
As founder and CEO of Hostwek LTD and its ventures including Wekturbo and Wonusu Media, I’ve navigated the complex journey of building technology businesses across East Africa. My consulting approach combines formal training in finance from the University of Nairobi with practical experience developing innovative solutions for challenging markets.
Wekturbo, the development arm of Hostwek, creates products like H-CareCloud, our healthcare management platform designed for medical facilities operating in areas with limited connectivity. Hostwek provides enterprise-grade infrastructure with comprehensive monitoring capabilities through our advanced status monitoring system.
This technology continuously tracks server performance, network speeds, and application health across our entire ecosystem, ensuring 99.9% uptime even in challenging environments. Our data centers feature redundant power systems, enterprise-level security protocols, and optimized network infrastructure that delivers exceptional speed and reliability throughout East Africa. Wonusu serves as our media and content platform, completing a holistic technology ecosystem built to thrive despite regional infrastructure challenges.
The consulting services I offer address the specific needs of early-stage technology ventures establishing operations in South Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, and neighboring markets. By combining Google-certified project management methodologies with financial expertise from my Bachelor of Commerce and Yale Financial Markets certification, I deliver technology business development guidance grounded in both academic knowledge and practical experience.
What's Included
I focus on five key areas that help technology startups overcome the unique challenges of building businesses in East Africa:
-
Technology Strategy Development
I work with founders to create technology plans that align with business objectives while accounting for local infrastructure realities. This includes software architecture planning, infrastructure design, and technology stack selection that balances innovation with reliability.
-
Business Model Refinement
Many startups struggle to adapt global business models to East African markets. I help refine your approach to monetization, customer acquisition, and service delivery to create sustainable operations that work within local economic contexts.
-
Operational Systems Design
Building on my experience developing operational frameworks for Hostwek and its ventures, I guide startups in creating efficient workflows, documentation systems, and team structures that maximize limited resources.
-
Investment Readiness Preparation
For startups seeking funding, I provide guidance on financial modeling, pitch development, and investor communication strategies that effectively communicate value to potential partners and funders.
-
Product Development Guidance
Drawing from our experience creating products like H-CareCloud, I offer practical advice on the development process from concept to market-ready solutions, with particular focus on creating technology that functions reliably in challenging environments.
Why Choose My Consulting Services
My recommendations come from actual experience building technology companies in East African markets, not just theoretical knowledge. I understand the specific challenges of unreliable infrastructure, diverse customer needs, and regulatory complexities because I navigate them daily with my own ventures.
-
Balanced Technical and Business Perspective
With formal training in both finance and technology implementation, I bridge the gap between technical possibilities and business realities. This allows me to guide founders toward solutions that are both technically sound and commercially viable.
-
Focus on Sustainable Growth
Rather than pursuing rapid scaling at all costs, my approach emphasizes building foundations that support long-term success. This includes developing appropriate technology, establishing effective operational systems, and creating realistic financial models.
-
Regional Market Understanding
My work across East African markets provides insights into both shared challenges and market-specific considerations. This helps startups develop appropriate strategies whether serving a single market or planning regional expansion.

Implementation Process?
My consulting work with startups follows six practical steps that take your business from concept to sustainable operation:

This includes reviewing existing systems, identifying core technology needs, and assessing alignment between your business objectives and technological capabilities.

Financial Modeling & Resource Planning I help you develop realistic financial projections and resource plans that account for technology costs, development timelines, and operational requirements. This includes creating budget allocations, identifying cost-effective solutions, and establishing metrics to track return on technology investments.
-
Technology Architecture Design We design a scalable technology architecture that meets immediate needs while allowing for future growth. This includes selecting appropriate platforms, defining data management approaches, establishing security protocols, and creating integration frameworks that connect all system components.
-
Implementation Planning I develop detailed implementation plans with clear milestones, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies. This includes creating development schedules, defining minimum viable product specifications, establishing quality standards, and identifying appropriate development methodologies.
-
Growth & Adaptation Framework As your startup evolves, I provide guidance on scaling your technology infrastructure to match business growth.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? I’ve Got Answers.
How do your consulting services work?
I start with a conversation to understand your business needs, then create a tailored plan for your startup. Depending on what you need, we might set up regular advisory calls, focused project guidance, or hands-on workshops to solve specific challenges.
What size companies do you work with?
I focus on early-stage startups and small businesses with 1-20 team members. These are founders who need practical guidance to build solid technology foundations without the overhead of large consulting teams.
What makes your approach different?

How long do engagements usually last?
Most strategy work takes about 3-4 weeks to complete. If you need implementation support, that might extend to 3-6 months. We’ll agree on clear timelines and deliverables before we start working together.
Can you help with actual development work?
While I mainly provide strategic guidance, my company Hostwek can handle development through our Wekturbo team when needed. This gives you a seamless experience from planning to implementation.
