British citizen and Ugandan-born innovator, entrepreneur, and founder of Jambo African Innovation Hub Ltd—a platform dedicated to empowering young African creators in Renewable Energy, Agritech, Healthtech, and Fintech.
From repairing radios and wristwatches as a child, David demonstrated an early aptitude for technology and problem-solving that would shape his future path.
A self-made power experiment led to a life-changing accident—but it sparked a lifelong passion for creating solutions that matter and understanding the power of technology.
Developed self-taught skills in computer repairs and cybersecurity, laying the foundation for his future in technology innovation.
"That childhood accident could have deterred me from technology, but instead it ignited a fire to understand how things work and how to make them safer and better for everyone."
This early experience with the transformative power—and responsibility—of technology became a driving force behind David's mission to empower African innovators with both technical skills and safety awareness.
Earned professional certifications in Ethical Hacking and Microsoft Engineering, complementing his self-taught technical skills with formal credentials.
In 2018, co-founded Shine Recycle Ltd, a UK-based computer recycling company focused on sustainable technology solutions and e-waste management.
Served as Managing Director of Swifin Uganda, promoting financial inclusion across Africa through innovative digital financial solutions.
David's vision for Jambo African Innovation Hub goes beyond just creating another tech incubator. He envisions a pan-African network of innovation hubs that will:
“Growing up in Uganda, I witnessed firsthand the everyday challenges our communities face—unreliable energy, limited healthcare, inefficiencies in agriculture, and barriers to financial access. But alongside these challenges, I saw something even more powerful: the untapped potential of our young people.”
“Jambo African Innovation Hub is my response to those early experiences. It’s the opportunity I wish I had as a young innovator—a space where bold ideas are nurtured, and homegrown solutions to African problems are given the support they need to thrive and scale.”
