Hey! I’m Joshua.
I’m at KPMG within Deal Advisory and Strategy. I spend my time supporting corporate and private equity clients through technology due diligence, sign-to-close strategy, and post-close integrations and separations.
I was born in Kenya but grew up in Dallas, Texas. Outside of living in Texas, I spent two years in Philadelphia (where I ate far too many cheesesteaks) while pursuing my MBA at Wharton. It was there I fell in love with sharing ideas and learning from some of the most fascinating people I’ve ever met. I spent my MBA summer in LA at Causeway Capital Management, helping their investment technology and client service teams stand up a new innovation strategy.
My love for technology began in the late 2000s when my family got our first home computer. When I wasn’t playing web games, I was teaching myself HTML, CSS, and Python to build my first sites. My love for entrepreneurship and hustle started even earlier: at age 10, I launched “Cash for Cans,” a neighborhood recycling startup where I collected trash bags full of soda cans and would get paid $0.93/lb at my local scrap metal center.
I like books, music production, design, and every once in a while, you can still find me behind a pair of decks DJing. I occasionally write and research:
-
Venture Capital & Startups
-
The Creator Economy
-
Deep Tech & AI
-
Culture & Science
