I specialize in helping professionals
shift from using their knowledge for
a paycheck – to using it to
build wealth, create lasting impact, and expand their influence.
To guide professionals in building powerful careers by helping them unlock their full potential, grow their income, and gain visibility, credibility, and influence in their industries —using the knowledge they already have.
I help individuals transform their potential into exceptional success by providing expert guidance and proven strategies to build thriving, high-impact careers using the knowledge they already have.
I equip individuals and organizations with expert guidance and practical tools to conduct high-quality research, generate meaningful data, and produce relevant evidence that informs programming, strengthens decision-making, and drives impact.
My journey began with a deep conviction that research is more than data—it’s a powerful tool for transforming lives, systems, and societies. Trained as a medical doctor and public health researcher, I’ve spent the past 15+ years consulting across 18 countries, leading over 100 research and strategic assignments for 45+ global institutions.
As the Founder of CREMES International—a research and consulting firm headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with a sub-office in Nairobi, Kenya—I lead a team committed to delivering high-impact work that informs policy and drives development outcomes across Africa and beyond.
While research remains my technical foundation, my greatest passion lies in training, mentorship, and coaching. To date, I’ve supported over 500 professionals—through masterclasses, one-on-one coaching, and group mentorship—helping them build meaningful careers in research and consulting.
This passion is what led me to develop the Muscle2Brain Framework, a five-level roadmap that helps professionals shift from effort-based income to influence-driven impact and wealth.
If you’re ready to grow your expertise, build your credibility, and rise into the career you deserve, welcome to my world of transformation.
