• I worked as a secondary school Teacher in St. Peters College Tororo from 1993 to 1996. I thereafter joined the Institute of Teacher Education, Kyambogo (ITEK) in September 1998 as a Part-time Lecturer. Upon completion of my Masters in Management Studies (Uganda Management Institute) I was appointed on probationary terms as a Lecturer in the Institute of Teacher Education, Kyambogo in 2003. In 2005, the 2 Universities recognized me for my academic and managerial competencies where I headed the Research and then Management Sections from 2004 to 2005 in the Department on Business Studies and was hence nominated to pursue a Doctorate degree in Procurement in the Netherlands. During the validation/integration of staff in Kyambogo University service, I was retained as an Assistant Lecturer in 2006. I have since risen both in the academic and administrative ranks over the years. I am currently a Senior Lecturer and Dean of the School of Management and Entrepreneurship since 1st December 2020.

• Am the former Chairman of the Kyambogo University Contracts Committee since 16th February 2013 after nomination by the University Secretary and approval by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic Development and Secretary to the Treasury. My mandate was renewed from 11th March 2016 till March 2019.

• I have a keen interest in promoting the best practices in public procurement as well as excellence in undergraduate and graduate training, research, innovations and knowledge transfer, a role I have executed successfully here at Kyambogo University. For example, I have supervised over 15 Masters Students to completion and examined over 60 Masters Dissertations at Uganda Management Institute as an External Examiner.

• During my stint as Head of Research and then Management Section, I was in charge of the quality and implementation of academic programs within and those coordinated by my sections including curriculum development and review; proper planning, coordination and implementation of both undergraduate and graduate academic programs, optimal utilization of teaching and research facilities.

Strategic development and implementation: I participated in the initiation and played a key role in the development of the Bachelor of Procurement and Logistics Management programme and the Master of Science in Supply Chain Management. This enabled the University obtain funding for the capacity building for its staff with 3 PhDs in Procurement currently in the Department of Procurement and Marketing. I am knowledgeable and have gained skills in establishment of new structures for example I was the pioneer Coordinator, Graduate Programmes (Master in Business Administration, Master of Science in Supply Chain Management and Master of Science in Organization and Public Policy Management) in the School of Management & Entrepreneurship, Kyambogo University. I was instrumental in the establishment of the research guidelines to provide a more conducive environment for promotion of graduate training and research. This included sourcing of competent Examiners and organizing viva voces as well as workshops for the dissemination of research outputs from the University.

Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations: Kyambogo University lacked an Investment Policy and or a Private Public Partnership framework to guide the Management and University Council. I was appointed a member of an Adhoc Committee on 10th May 2016 which has since been adopted as the Investment Policy for the University. The policy among others provides for governance strategies to enhance University revenue to attain financial sustainability by maximizing total return on investments whilst containing risk. This is under the principle of ensuring value for money, by the optimal allocation of risks to private parties and maximization of the benefits to be obtained from expertise and financing by private parties. This was followed with a further appointment to a Committee to draft guidelines for the Investment & Resources Mobilization Policy. I headed the Committee to review the Kyambogo Univesity Human Resource Manual.

Board Governance: As Chairman of the Contracts Committee, I was able to work with Kyambogo University Management and subsequently the University Council in overseeing the procurement function. In this endeavor, I introduced an annual conference to evaluate the University’s procurement practices and performance in terms of the budgets, work plans, procurement plans and reports (including the PPDA Audit reports). This is for all User Department Heads which has been entrenched in the procurement culture of the University among others. This has re-engineered the procurement management process in the University making it more effective and efficient in its governance and operation.

Am a member and Consultant with the Institute of Corporate Governance of Uganda.

Financial Management: As the Head of the Research and the Management Sections in 2005 and as the Ag. Head of Department of Procurement and Marketing, my roles entailed among others; soliciting for funds for research and general development; maintain and be accountable for an update of inventory for all equipment and assets movable and immovable which are key aspects if financial management. I have since acquired skills and competencies in financial management particularly accountability and value for money as the Dean School of Management and Entrepreneurship.

Team and Performance Management: Am a team player in the School of Management & Entrepreneurship which is multidisciplinary in nature. I have gained experience and understanding in the area of organizational leadership, management and coordination at a large university. A key focus area that I have been able to master is the recruitment, nurturing, development and retaining a critical mass of staff. I have been able to retain high performing undergraduate students, nurture and develop them into Lecturers some of who have completed or are pursuing PhD programmes in various disciplines. I am a keen advocate for incentivizing staff.

Furthermore, I was requested to serve as a Master of Ceremonies for the launch of AfDB/HEST project by the Minister of Education. This requires a strong command of communications skills and teamwork. This was against a backdrop of an existing fully fledged University Department of Public Relations.

National and International Representation: I have been able to research and present academic papers at both National and International fora which include:
