The Chef

Where Finance
Meets the Kitchen

"A culinary professional who bridges the worlds of high-level kitchen operations and business strategy."

My journey began with a degree in Finance and Business Management — a foundation that later fueled the launch of my own food delivery brand, CK-Unlimited, in Kenya.

After formalizing training at Boma International Hospitality College and Kenya's renowned Hemingways, I moved to Dubai to master both savory and pastry arts at the International Center for Culinary Arts (ICCA).

Currently refining my craft at CHOIX par Pierre Gagnaire and Pierre's TT under the mentorship of the world-renowned, multi-Michelin-starred French chef, Pierre Gagnaire.
Under direct supervision of chef Mathieu Balbino the Executive chef and Chef Drigo Lim the sous chef
