Driving Value Through Data Science | 30 Under 30 | Young Data Professional of the Year 2025
Background

I believe great data science is measured by the business value it creates – especially when it bridges strategy, technology, and people.

As Head of Data Science for Africa & Middle East at Heineken, I lead a globally distributed team solving complex business problems across multiple functional areas. Our focus: deploying AI and experimentation solutions that are scalable, pragmatic, and measurable.

I’ve helped transform delivery velocity, scale local capability, and introduce productised Data Science tools used across markets. My work has been recognised through the Future Data Leader 30 Under 30 list and as a runner up to the Young Data Professional of the Year award – but the real impact lies in mentoring teams, shaping how data science operates at scale, and making AI work in the real world.

I’m passionate about building scalable AI capabilities in complex, fast-moving environments. If you’re building data-led transformation in emerging markets or global operations, let’s connect.
