About David

Born in Kenya, my life’s journey has taken me to over 40 countries across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and Pacific, and Sub-Saharan Africa, where I have lived, worked, and traveled. This global exposure has deeply influenced both my personal passions and professional insights. I’ve been blessed to be a part of, build, and lead exceptional teams and communities throughout my two-decade-long career. Beyond that, I’m an avid traveler and foodie, and I pride myself on being a solver of puzzles in both professional and personal realms. Every endeavor is supercharged by my WHY: to ignite people’s imaginations about what’s possible, so that, together, we can progress our infinite potential.

MY SEARCH

I am targeting a fire safety services business in the United States, focusing on California, Texas, Florida, and New York. The ideal business specializes in maintenance and monitoring for a diverse B2B clientele with enduring profitability. Given that fire safety services are both essential and legally mandated, their fundamentals are stable across cycles.

However, the sector is currently lagging in digital transformation, creating opportunities for efficiencies, data-driven decision-making, and enhanced customer experiences. Factors such as demographic growth in key regions, evolving real estate trends, and expanding regulatory requirements further amplify the growth potential for these services. This landscape offers promising prospects for companies eager to drive growth and innovation.
