About Me
Over the past decade, I’ve built and led businesses across industries, always with a focus on making operations sharper, strategy clearer, and growth more deliberate. Today I run two consultancies: LongBrain, an FMCG consultancy based in Jamaica, and FL DEV, a tech consultancy serving open source projects and software companies. In both, I work directly with clients as a principal consultant while holding full strategic and operational authority over the firm.
My career has been defined by building ownership over complex, multi-disciplinary environments, not just managing within them. My edge isn’t a single industry or discipline, it’s range. I’ve operated at the intersection of business and technology my entire career, I bring both lenses to every engagement.
What I Do
At LongBrain, I partner with FMCG companies on strategy, market positioning, sales, and financial performance. I co-lead the firm alongside my business partner, the Chief Innovator & CEO; each of us working directly with our own clients, coordinating where our expertise overlaps.
At FL DEV, I work with open source projects and software companies on the business layer: operations, sales, finance, marketing, strategy, and community engagement. I don’t write code or run systems; I make everything around them work better.
Background
From 2019 to 2025, I was Administrative & Technical Manager at Rahtid Investment Management, a private holding company I co-owned with investments spanning lawn care, waste management, vending, last-mile delivery, and merchandising. I oversaw procurement, managed all technology infrastructure, directed sales and service strategy alongside my co-owner, and drove market research and financial analysis to identify opportunities and gaps. I was involved in every major decision — from pricing and marketing to corporate contracts and future product development.
Before that, I spent five years at Tyche Enterprises Limited, a FMCG distribution company, progressing from Technical Assistant to Executive Assistant of the Managing Director. I owned IT infrastructure across networking, servers, and devices; designed and executed maintenance procedures including system upgrades and backups; and served as the organisation’s operating system expert and technical point of contact. Alongside the technical work, I functioned as a trusted operational right hand to leadership: managing sensitive information, handling urgent requests, and bridging the gap between the MD and the broader team.
How I Think
I follow the open source landscape closely, not only as a developer, but as someone who understands its business implications. I believe in open source, its values and the community around it. I’ve built FL DEV around helping companies and projects capitalise on that.
I bring the same discipline to FMCG through LongBrain grounded in data, oriented toward growth, and focused on what actually moves the business forward.
