About
I have served as a consultant and a lecturer of accounting and finance units at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies and Daystar University. I joined Daystar University in 1997 as a part-time lecturer and later as a full time lecturer in 2000. Over the time, I managed to rise from a timetable officer to positions of higher responsibility through the ranks. Among the responsibilities that I served include; Coordinator Continuing Education (2008-2010), Ag Coordinator Collaborative Academic Programmes, Chairman, of the Economics department (2010-2014), Director, Daystar Enterprises Limited (2014 to date), Chairman Daystar University provident Fund (2010 to date), Chairman Daystar multipurpose cooperative society (2009-2012) and currently the Dean of the School of Business and Economics (2014 to date)
I have successfully supervised more than 50 MBA theses and participated in local and international conferences. I successfully led the Daystar University, School of Business and Economics in hosting the NottinghamDaystar international conference in August 2015. I have also been involved in the development of a number of academic programmes at Daystar University including; B Com (purchasing and Logistics), B Com Law, MBA (2005), MSc Economics (2014), LLB (2015) and PhD (Business Administration). Other achievements include; leading a team that developed the 2016-2021 Daystar University strategic plans, the Daystar University School of Law strategic plan, Market surveys for the MBA programme and the Daystar law programme. Organized a business incubation boot camp, in collaboration between Daystar University and Agora Enterprise, from US.
