Jimmy Opiyo

Am a lifelong learner who applies new ideas and creative thinking to problems in entrepreneurship, marketing, and branding.

Since 2019, I have co-founded several brands, including Bearbandit, a luxury face mask and Saficleans: a web-based platform that connects domestic workers to homeowners that was later acquired by Compulynx Ltd through their Uvumbuzi innovation challenge in 2019.

Despite this, I mentor youths through a CBO I founded in 2019 in Nairobi's Mkuru slums (a marginalized community) that teaches youths about the digital future and the gig economy in order to end unemployment in the region

I have gained experience in project management, budgeting, business development, and negotiation through the brands and companies I have created over the last 5+ years, while also developing my soft skills in leadership, delegation, organization, self motivation, and critical thinking.

Currently on a mission to build the continent's leading alcoholic beverage brand, beginning with Kenya, by making taste affordable and accessible.
