Call me Clem.
I'm happiest when I'm building something. It's the 1am kind of happy, half-asleep and trying to figure out how to growth-hack a marketplace in Kenya, or turning over what could actually shorten how long a council complaint sits untouched.
Or something quieter: finding a system that helps me stay on top of my own life, like Lunara, the cycle-productivity app above. I built it for myself. It's the tool that tells me when to go all in on an idea, and when to just make a hot chocolate and watch my telenovela instead.
At heart I'm a builder and an operator, and I'm genuinely passionate about making a dent in how things currently work. I didn't plan it this way, but almost everything I make ends up converging on the same thing: people. If a project isn't making a real difference to someone, I struggle to see the point of doing it. That's probably what's pulled me toward venture and innovation work across very different sectors. Different rooms, same thread.
I like to say I was born an entrepreneur, though my grandmother probably had a lot to do with it too. She taught me to grow sweet potatoes and keep chickens for eggs, and had me selling both to the neighbours before I could count properly. That was my snack money, and it's what kept me interested in her farm work in the first place.
Outside of building things, I run. 15km a few times a week when my ankle behaves, though I clearly missed the fast-Kenyan-runner gene everyone assumes comes standard issue (nowhere near as quick as the reputation suggests). I lift weights too, and I love it: everything else switches off for that hour, and there's something satisfying about actually watching yourself get stronger. And then there's coffee. I stopped counting after 10 pods a day, though it somehow still lets me fall asleep anywhere, any time. That one might be my actual hidden talent.
Mostly, though, I'm just passionate about ideas.
