I am an accomplished Product Design and Development expert with four years of experience since earning my undergraduate degree. Pursuing a Bachelor's degree at Dedan Kimathi University provided me with a strong foundation in my field, and I have since showcased my proficiency in both digital and electronic product development.

My expertise spans a wide range of areas, including CAD design, manufacturing, electronics design and fabrication, automation, and PCB design and fabrication. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about bridging the gap between concept and realization, whether it's in software or hardware development.

During my tenure at Zingo Connect Ltd, I had the privilege of serving as a skilled Project Manager, leading the development of the zingo ecommerce application. My multifaceted approach to product design allowed me to contribute effectively to the successful completion of the project. It was gratifying to witness how this platform addressed the diverse needs of the Kenyan setup, making a positive impact in areas such as agriculture, transport, ecommerce, and logistics.

Before my role at Zingo Connect Ltd, I worked as an Embedded Systems Engineer at Gearbox Pan Africa Network. In this capacity, I was involved in implementing innovative solutions that resolved challenges faced by individuals and industries in Kenya. The experience taught me the importance of understanding and addressing real-world problems with creativity and technical expertise.

My passion for product design and development drives me to excel in both software and hardware realms, always striving to create solutions that enhance people's lives in the Kenyan context. I am committed to empowering communities and driving progress, and I believe that impactful design is a key driver of positive change.

With an impressive background and a proven track record, I continue to make significant strides in the product design and development arena. I am eager to contribute my skills and expertise to create innovative solutions that not only benefit Kenya but also have the potential to make a difference beyond borders.

In conclusion, I am deeply committed to my field and dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to drive positive social and environmental impact. I look forward to taking on new challenges and creating products that leave a lasting and meaningful mark on the world.

Per più di 20 anni ho rivestito il ruolo di direttore tecnico in diverse aziende manifatturiere
Nella mia ultima esperienza aziendale ho guidato diversi team che hanno sviluppato in modalità agile più di 50 prodotti industriali dotati di software di automazione.
Ho diretto la transizione verso questo nuovo approccio con la costituzione di una “Mini-Fabbrica Agile” all’interno della quale operavano oltre 190 persone.
Oggi affianco le aziende nello sviluppo agile dei nuovi prodotti e nella necessaria trasformazione organizzativa

Su di me…
Ogni mattina pratico mindfulness.
Amo camminare nella natura e intraprendere viaggi itineranti senza un percorso definito.
Sono un appassionato di cinema e un vorace lettore di saggi.

I studied design in Switzerland and lived and worked there until 2016 when I moved to India at the age of 21. Since 2019 I’m based in Amsterdam, NL. In the last decade I had the privilege to work with big multinational brands and many promising startups across the world helping them scale their vision, organisation and products.

I am infinitely curious and have built a broad and deep knowledge-base that I love to draw from. Beyond design I am always learning more about economics, psychology, leadership and complex system design and incorporate these learnings into my work.

Natascha Poeran

Natascha Poeran

Natascha Poeran, geboren en getogen in Nederland, behaalde haar master Road & Railway Engineering aan de TU Delft. Tijdens haar studie ontdekte ze haar fascinatie voor materialen, hun gedrag en de fundamentele uitdagingen daarin, vooral voor bitumen en asfalt. Na het afronden van TUD is Natascha aan de slag gegaan als Adviseur bij de R&D afdeling Quality, Research & Support, kortweg QRS, bij de Road & Infrastructure divisie van Royal Boskalis Westminster. Daar maakte Natascha kennis met de 'echte' wegenbouw, praktisch en ambachtelijk . Om hoofdonderwerpen in de branche verder te brengen, zoals end result verification, combineert Natascha kennis van zowel theorie als praktijk om onderzoeksprojecten, processen en hun onderlinge relaties te ontwerpen en te optimaliseren. Hiermee werkt QRS aan een transitie in de wegenbouw van impliciet vakmanschap naar expliciete industrialisatie.
