Bridging Gaps: How Supply Chain Management Can Drive Africa’s Digital Transformation
My journey with supply chain management started unintentionally. While I recently pivoted from beinf a Supply Chain to a Business Development concentration at Michigan State University (MSU), a university globally recognized for its excellence in the field, my time here has sparked a fascination with how supply chains shape economies and industries.

The “Future of Work” Is No Longer a Concept: It is Here, and It is Exhilarating.
It is not very long ago that I was hired by the United Nations, to work with a significant number of colleagues on the UNDP’s National Evaluation Capacities (NEC) Conference.

With that realisation also came time–a lot of time to spend with me. I spent most of my winterbreak reflecting, and writing. In reflecting, I arrived at a rather particular thought; one that I see to always return to: We are, Mostly, Nothing.
