"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!" ~ Audrey Hepburn

My name is Damu Rufaro Winston, it means one who brings happiness to his people. Over the years, I have learned a person’s name is so much more than just an identifier. Most parent(s) spend countless hours deciding, fighting, and praying over the name of their soon to be child. So, even before the child is born, he or she has begun an internal journey to learn what it means to become that name. It’s no coincidence we ask ourselves, “Who am I?”, “Who am I supposed to be?”, “Why am I here?”, "What is my purpose?"… We all know words have meaning, but we must never forger our names carry our legacy. We all go through life learning what it means to embody that name; to own it, to make it just as memorable as you are.

I am a champion for empowering organizations through harnessing diverse thought and talent, re-engineering processes and leveraging emerging technologies (such as, Blockchain, AI cognitive capabilities, IoT wearables, etc…), to ultimately drive profitability, productivity, and maximize impact.

As a customer-focused partner to reimagine experiences, for new and traditional businesses, I empower organizations through innovation and digital transformation. Having led globally distributed high-performing teams in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, throughout Europe, India, Mexico, and US domestically, I've optimized operations, grown businesses and generated new revenue streams (i.e., new cloud services), while helping organizations differentiate themselves by becoming transformative (i.e., market makers).

My 2019 book, “I Don’t Trust You, But Blockchain and Bitcoin will help”, is an Amazon best-selling book on emerging technologies (Blockchain, AI, etc...) focused on the Gulf region.

I know my purpose, and I take pride in being of service.
