Chief Executive Officer
“At INFOSTAT, we believe that the path to sustainable development in East Africa runs through evidence — rigorous, locally-grounded, and actionable evidence. Since our founding, we have committed ourselves to delivering not just data, but genuine insight that moves organizations forward. Our work in research, M&E, and ICT solutions is driven by one purpose: to help decision-makers in government, development, and business make choices that truly matter for the people they serve. We remain deeply committed to that purpose, every project, every day.”

Founder's Note
Founder & Director
“INFOSTAT was born from a simple conviction: that African institutions deserve world-class analytical support from an African firm that truly understands the context. When we started in 2011, we set out to build something different — a consultancy with the rigor of international standards and the heart of local commitment. Over a decade later, I am proud that we have held true to that founding spirit. Our greatest achievement is not any single project, but the trust that governments, communities, and development partners have placed in us to help shape a better East Africa.”
