Meet Kemi

I’ve always believed in the power of rigorous evaluation and a deep understanding of context to spark sustainable growth. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve partnered with organizations like NEOM, USAID, DFID, the EU, and the UN—translating knowledge and data into strategic actions that optimize performance and amplify impact.

With an ongoing Doctor of Philosophy (Business) and a Master of Evaluation from Saarland University, Germany, I’ve built my career around evidence-based solutions. I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Systems Management from the University of Liverpool, UK, a Master of Public Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies—not to mention certifications from ITCILO that keep me at the forefront of global best practices. My approach is grounded in transparency, collaboration, and a relentless drive to see projects succeed. Beyond my professional pursuits, I’m equally committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders through mentorship and capacity-building programs.

Whether I’m speaking on global panels, sharing insights on my ‘Development Catalyst’ channel, or guiding youth initiatives, my focus remains the same: to empower people and organizations to thrive through knowledge and insights.

My mission

I’m on a mission to reshape how organizations use data and evaluations to drive meaningful, sustainable development. Rather than offering standalone services, I bring together rigorous evaluation methodologies, strategic insights, and hands-on mentorship to empower my partners at every stage. My goal is to ensure no project settles for second-best—each initiative thrives on solid evidence, seamless collaboration, and a clear roadmap to success.

My vision

I envision a future where leaders, communities, and institutions harness knowledge and innovation to spark transformative and sustainable change. By investing time and care to understand each unique challenge, I ensure that evaluation, capacity, knowledge and insights work hand in hand—eliminating compromises and enabling lasting impact. Ultimately, I see a world where progress and development is equitable, data-driven, and empowers everyone to realize their full potential.

Let's Partner

I’d love to collaborate with forward-thinking individuals, organizations, and institutions who believe in the power of data-driven insights to spark real, lasting change. From shaping transformative development strategies to mentoring the next wave of leaders, I’m committed to working side by side with you—turning vision into measurable impact.
