He served as the Chief Operations Officer and Chief Executive Officer for FINCA Zambia for four and a half years where he managed the transformation of FINCA from a non-governmental organization to a regulated, commercial microfinance institution. FINCA Zambia received its deposit-taking microfinance license from the Bank of Zambia in June 2008.
