About the Author

I advise companies on difficult supply chain decisions in developing markets, with a particular focus on route-to-market design, market entry and last-mile distribution.

I have lived, worked and travelled in more than 100 countries, mostly across the emerging economies of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. I have seen first-hand how goods really move, and where they get stuck.

My advisory work spans healthcare, FMCG, agriculture, the energy transition, inclusive business and illicit supply chains. I also write regularly on these topics and have contributed to Strategic Marketing Africa, How We Made It In Africa and Logistics Insight Asia.

My clients include multinationals, financial institutions, investment firms, consultancies, startups, NGOs and donors. I work alongside their leadership teams as a long-term sounding board, helping them judge what will actually work on the ground before they commit capital or people.

Country assignments include:

Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Burundi, Cambodia, China, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, East Timor, Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kenya, Laos, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Nigeria, Philippines, Rwanda, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa, South Korea, South Sudan, Tanzania, Thailand, UAE, Uganda, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Zambia & Zimbabwe.

I have been a public speaker at a number of conferences and events. Recent topics include:
