While in Nairobi, he undertook his Undergraduate degree at the USIU-A then went back to Accra.

He started out as a Commercial Manager in 2001 then became its Chief Operating Officer in 2005 before taking up the role of Managing Director – Internet Division. Eventually Access Kenya transformed to IS Kenya and he took up the Deputy CEO position until 2016.

He was very instrumental in growing the company’s revenue from USD 2,000 to USD 25 Million in 7 years, with a total asset value of USD 3 billion. This achievement earned Internet Solutions (IS) Kenya equity as the best corporate ISP in the East African region.
