Liza Akinyi-Owino
Executive Coach & Consultant
I’ve spent my career building, scaling, and transforming businesses and global programs. I’ve founded and grown businesses — successfully selling some and learning invaluable lessons from others. I’ve also led large-scale initiatives in 20+ countries, securing millions of dollars in funding to resource impactful programs that drive social change.
My work spans entrepreneurship, international development, and strategic consulting, helping leaders and organizations turn ideas into reality. Whether in the boardroom of a global organization or alongside a startup founder refining their vision, I bring a practical, action-oriented approach to strategy, operations, and growth.
Being both a founder and a leader in high-stakes environments has required me to master business model innovation, strategic growth, operations, ESG, and business intelligence. I’ve helped many companies sharpen their positioning, implement data-driven strategies, and scale sustainably.
I’m currently taking on clients for executive Coaching and business consulting.
I’m based in Nairobi, Kenya, but my work spans global markets. When I’m not helping businesses and organizations thrive, I enjoy conversations with family and friends, being a wife and mother to four amazing boys, gardening, or cooking up something special in the kitchen.
Let’s build something extraordinary.
