ABOUT TALENTIN
A
At TalentIn, we believe that for the mission-driven organizations, growth isn't just about a better product—it’s about unlocking the hidden potential of your leadership. While many firms focus on the "what" of business, we obsess over the "who." We recognize that managers are the heartbeat of strategy execution; they are the bridge between a founder’s vision and a team’s reality. Our mission is to transform your middle and senior managers into an unstoppable force, equipped with the leadership "superpowers" necessary to drive high-impact results.
​
In the fast-paced world of SMEs, you don't have the luxury of bureaucratic lag. You need leaders who can navigate uncertainty with precision and turn strategy into action instantly. We specialize in elevating these leaders, moving them beyond technical oversight into the realm of adaptive mastery. By sharpening their ability to inspire, delegate, and communicate, we help your organization move from a group of talented individuals to a synchronized, high-octane engine of growth.
​
Whether you are preparing to scale, navigating a transition, or looking to solidify your work culture, TalentIn provides the frameworks to turn your talent into a competitive advantage. We partner with you to build a resilient foundation where every manager is a catalyst for excellence, ensuring your organization doesn't just grow—it thrives with unstoppable momentum.
WHAT WE DO
Technical expertise can get an individual promoted, but leading a team requires a different set of "adaptive" leadership skills. We train managers to move beyond scripts and methods, teaching them how to build accountability, master effective delegation, and foster a strong, high-performance work culture.
Hiring the wrong leader is a significant cost. We specialize in identifying and attracting unique talent—leaders who aren't always actively looking but possess the perfect blend of competency and culture-fit. Using our time-tested Executive Assessment Metrics, we ensure you get it right the first time.
Change—whether through mergers, acquisitions, or internal restructuring—often brings confusion and panic. We turn these seasons of uncertainty into opportunities. Through open, inclusive conversations and strategic communication, we help leaders clarify the "WHY" and get their people fully on board.

MEET OUR TEAM
William is a seasoned business leader, entrepreneur, and talent architect with over a decade of senior leadership experience across for-profit, social enterprise, and INGO environments in Africa. His work sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, leadership development, and organizational design—the very capabilities that TalentIn Africa exists to strengthen within growing organizations.
​
William has led complex, high-growth operations across Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Seychelles Republic, working primarily with startups and scaling organizations operating in dynamic, resource-constrained markets. Across these contexts, he has consistently been trusted with roles that require building from zero, fixing what is broken, scaling what works, and developing leaders who can sustain growth.
​
He has served in transformative executive roles, including Managing Director at Educate!, where he currently oversees country strategy and end-to-end operations in Rwanda while also leading Kenya Country Operations. In these roles, William has been responsible for translating strategy into execution, strengthening management pipelines, driving performance, stewarding culture, and ensuring organizational readiness for scale. His leadership has required balancing impact, financial discipline, people development, and risk management—often simultaneously.
​
Previously, William served as Chief Operating Officer in Nigeria, leading operations in one of Africa’s most complex business environments, and held senior leadership roles within the renewable energy sector, including with Solar Kiosk, where he supported market expansion and operational scale across East Africa. Earlier in his career, he was the first Country Operations Manager at Copia Kenya, where he helped build foundational systems, teams, partnerships, and operating rhythms during the company’s formative years.
​
Beyond executive leadership, William is a serial entrepreneur and builder. He is the Founder of Zanna Bakehouse, a fast-growing food and events brand, and Zanna Steel Craft, a fabrication venture serving Kenya’s construction and manufacturing ecosystem. These businesses ground his advisory work in lived entrepreneurial experience—not theory.
William is also the author of The Big Leap, a practical book for emerging entrepreneurs that draws from his real-world experience navigating leadership, failure, growth, and scale across African markets.
​
TalentIn Africa was born directly from this journey. After years of watching organizations struggle—not because of bad strategy, but because of weak leadership systems, poor role clarity, fragile culture, and underdeveloped managers—William founded TalentIn to help organizations build strong leaders, design effective organizations, recruit the right talent, and manage change with intention. TalentIn’s work reflects what he has practiced: clear accountability, strong managers, disciplined execution, and people systems that enable performance.
​
William holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Media (Maseno University), is currently pursuing an MBA in Global Business Management (USIU), and is a CPA(K) candidate. He also holds a Mini-MBA in Entrepreneurship from the Sinapis/Acton School of Business Entrepreneurship Academy.
