At eLimu, I led the full product lifecycle of multiple EdTech platforms - from ideation to market. My focus was on aligning product strategy with evolving education needs in Kenya and beyond. I worked with cross-functional teams to design, test, and launch interactive learning tools that made education more accessible, personalized, and fun. I led the redesign and relaunch of eLimu’s learning platforms, which drove a 40% increase in user engagement and a 30% uptick in student completion rates within six months. My team scaled access to eLimu content across 7 Kenyan counties, supporting over 50,000 learners. I introduced agile design processes that reduced product iteration cycles by 35%, while championing a new product strategy that aligned with emerging curriculum needs and partner goals.
