ABOUT

Digital ambition is easy. Delivery is harder.

I’m Jaqueline Pateguana, an advisor and executive leader specialising in digital transformation, cybersecurity, technology policy, and institutional reform. I help governments, international organisations, and private-sector actors define strategy, mobilize resources, drive reform, and lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver initiatives that improve digital governance, strengthen cyber resilience, and support inclusive digital growth across Africa and the Global South.
My experience spans ICT, government, transport, logistics, and health, giving me a multidisciplinary perspective that helps institutions navigate complexity, align stakeholders, and turn reform priorities into actionable results.
