Transforming business visions into structured, scalable, and fundable realities. SME Business Architect | Feasibility to Operational Launch.
I am a seasoned business architect with over two decades of leadership experience in banking and as a General Manager. My expertise lies in building businesses from the ground up鈥攖urning entrepreneurial concepts into operational, investment-ready ventures.
What I Solve: Founders and SMEs often have a compelling idea but lack the structured financial and operational blueprint to execute it confidently, present it to investors, or scale it efficiently. I bridge that gap.
My Proven Process:
1. Validation: I conduct in-depth feasibility studies (like my recent work on coffee export, EV import, and water kiosk ventures) to quantify risk, opportunity, and ROI.
2. Financial Blueprinting: I build robust, driver-based financial models and 5-year projections that tell the story of your business in numbers, satisfying investor scrutiny and guiding your strategy.
3. Operational Foundation: I develop the essential procedural manuals (Finance, HR, Operations, Sales) that create the framework for scalable, efficient, and compliant execution.
My Background: My career spans from bank clerk to Branch Manager (15+ years) and General Manager for multiple private companies (5+ years). This gives me a unique dual perspective: the risk-awareness of a banker and the execution drive of an operator.
For You: Whether you are an entrepreneur with a new idea, a startup seeking funding, or an SME needing to systemize for growth, I provide the clarity, structure, and strategic financial planning you need to move forward with confidence.
