About Elekevu
Better decisions before more technology.
Elekevu is an independent Nairobi-based operations practice. We help SMEs understand how work actually happens, where recurring friction sits, and what is worth changing before money is committed to a tool or transformation programme.
The business problem comes first
A process can look simple on paper while depending on repeated copying, informal approvals, private knowledge and manual checks to keep moving. Those details matter because they often determine whether a new system will solve the problem or simply move it somewhere else.
Elekevu therefore starts with the operating problem, not the software category.
Independent by design
The job is to reach the most defensible next decision. Sometimes that points to technology. Sometimes the useful intervention is a clearer rule, a different owner, a simpler process, or no further change yet.
Recommendations are shaped by the evidence available in the work itself rather than by a need to sell a particular platform.
Practitioner-led
Elekevu is led by Alan Kivuti. His professional background spans regulated operations, quality and safety systems, project delivery, customer operations, SME environments and applied AI.
Rather than turning that background into a long biography here, the professional record can be checked directly on LinkedIn.
Based in Nairobi, able to work across Kenya
Elekevu is based in Nairobi and works with Kenyan businesses. Some diagnostic work can be done remotely. Where seeing the operation in person materially changes what can be understood, an onsite visit can be agreed as part of the engagement.
No private residential address or personal contact details are published as part of the practice's public identity.
