Our Team
I founded Youterus Health because I lived the gap. My fibroid wasn’t just a medical diagnosis - it was a wake-up call.
It exposed how little infrastructure exists for uterine care, even for someone with access. The fatigue, the pain, the confusion - I had to piece together answers on my own. And I kept thinking: what about the women without time, language, insurance, or support?
That question became a commitment.
Youterus is a blueprint for the future of care in Africa - one powered by women’s voices and rooted in the realities of our bodies. Every story, every delay, every moment of advocacy we’ve lived is shaping what we’re building now.
We’re not here to work around the system. We’re here to build something different: A platform that offers trusted care. A fund that removes cost. A campaign that transforms stories into systems.
This vision isn’t just mine. It’s ours.

Why I started Youterus
Why I joined Youterus
I build systems so women don’t have to navigate care alone - focusing on the practical stuff that keeps care moving.
At Youterus Health, I lead operations - making sure our systems can grow with purpose, speed, and stability. From multi-country teams to digital infrastructure.
I’ve worked in global consultancies, infrastructure firms, and startups - 15 years across sectors and continents. I’ve seen what works, what breaks, and what never belonged in the first place.
What brought me to Youterus wasn’t a title. It was a conviction: that African women deserve care that reflects their lives, not systems borrowed from somewhere else.
My job is to make that care real. In budgets. In timelines. In delivery. And in the trust we build along the way.
