Served as Managing Director of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) during the period of the Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant rehabilitation. The 88-megawatt Mount Coffee plant, originally built in 1966, was destroyed during the Liberian civil war and restored under a US$257 million rehabilitation programme funded by the European Investment Bank, the German government, and the United States; power generation resumed in 2016 and reached full capacity by 2018. Under LEC's network expansion strategy during this period, grid connections rose from approximately 10,000 metered customers in 2015 to more than 250,000 by 2024, per LEC operational reports. The restored plant currently supplies the majority of Monrovia's grid-connected electricity.
