What made you choose Davra?

I have known Davra for a few years now and I have always been impressed with the platform, the Davra approach, the team and professionalism they bring in what is a very competitive market. The standout qualities of Davra that were decisive for my selection is the company’s vision, the total alignment of the team coupled to a platform that offers so much; whether addressing its loyal and growing developer community or to transforming businesses across the globe.

What are your passions in life?…. Outside Davra of course…

Being born in Kenya and growing up in Africa has been a key part of how my personal life has been shaped. At an early age I discovered I could run and being in school in the Kenyan highlands sparked my passion for combining nature with my sport. Trail running is now very much central to my own personal balance. It enables me to keep connected with nature whether in a Kenyan game reserve, running in Saudi Arabia or to running the trails of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland. It is that link with nature that also creates my direct interest in enabling IoT to address anti-poaching of African animals, environment and creating a greener planet as fast as possible.

What are your aims while working here?

Success does not come without partners, especially partners that want to use Davra as their platform to create their specific industry solutions. My aim is to help accelerate and grow our partner business that will address our key focus markets.
