Each brings a distinct lens to our conversation.\n\nDr. Njeri Ngaruiya is an ICT4D consultant and lectur er at Strathmore University\, holding a PhD in Information Systems from th e University of Nairobiwith over more than a decade\, she has designed and implemented technology solutions that work not in theory\, but in the com munities that need them most: low-income settings spanning health\, educat ion\, agriculture\, and financial inclusion\, with a particular focus on w omen and older adults. Njeri approaches technology through the lens of des ign thinking and human-centred methodology\, asking not just what a system can do\, but who it truly serves.\n\nEng. Nelly Kosgei(PE) is a Principal Electrical Engineer at Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) with over thirteen years of hands-on experience in power generation\, geotherm al systems\, and industrial electrical engineering. Her expertise spans th e installation\, commissioning\, and maintenance of some of the most deman ding electrical systems in East Africa\, including Siemens AC and DC drive s\, high-capacity switchgear\, and variable speed drives. Registered as a Proffesional Engineer with both the Engineers Board of Kenya and the Insti tution of Engineers of Kenya\, Nelly brings to this panel the grounded per spective of an engineer who works where the power actually comes from and who understands\, at a deep technical level\, what reliability truly means .\n\nZainabu Muti holds an MSc in Information Technology and works as a le cture at the School of Engineering and Computing Sciences. Zainabu brings the essential bridge between technological possibility and market reality the discipline of understanding not just what technology can do\, but how it finds its audience\, builds its relationships\, and creates sustainable value. Her work is a reminder that the most elegant technical solution st ill has to reach people to matter.\n\nJully Kyambi Mutia is a Graduate tra inee at Schneider Electric with experience in Technical Project Management and a degree in telecommunications engineering and experience across fint ech and data-driven systems. Jully is the kind of professional who speaks fluently in both the language of engineers and the language of business. S he is passionate about building scalable solutions and believes that proce ss excellence and human impact are not in tension: they reinforce each oth er.\n\nMaureen Chepkemoi is a Transmission Engineer at Safaricom PLC which means she works inside the infrastructure that connects Kenya. As a young professional in one of the continent's most impactful telecommunications networks\, Maureen combines strong technical foundations with the communic ation skills and relationship-building instincts that make complex systems actually function across organisations. She represents a generation of wo men engineers who are not waiting for a seat at the table they are already building the table.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564700 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564700 ORGANIZER:ngaruiyanjeri@gmail.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Technology With Purpose : IEEE WIE KENYA SECTION Webinar Panel Inno vate Responsibly.
