Currently heading IT change initiatives at Hima Cement Uganda (Lafarge Group), I’ve directed multimillion-dollar projects, managed global IT teams, and delivered mission-critical systems across manufacturing, logistics, enterprise, and education sectors. My leadership style is hands-on, data-driven, and deeply collaborative—focused on business outcomes, compliance, and long-term scalability.

Cybersecurity & Compliance: Implemented Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP), Business Continuity (BCP), and compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, GRC, and ISO 27001, reducing risk exposure and improving system resilience. Smart Automation: Deployed sensor-based weighbridge automation, AI-driven gate access (ANPR, UHF ) and IoT telematics, resulting in annual cost savings of $5M+ and enhanced security. Fleet & Logistics Optimisation: Integrated GPS tracking, predictive analytics, and route planning, achieving a 30% reduction in fleet costs and improved asset uptime. Team Leadership: Directed cross-functional IT teams (30–50+ members), vendors, and consultants, driving performance, mentorship, and stakeholder collaboration. Healthcare Tech Experience: Applied secure IT infrastructure and compliance standards in healthcare-adjacent environments, ensuring data privacy and operational continuity. My proven ability to bridge technology and business strategy enables me to deliver real-world impact—from digital transformation and ERP rollouts to security hardening and operational automation.
