As CEO and Product Lead for ZAWADI, Peredy sets prototype priorities and keeps the research story calibrated — signal work and partner alignment before any clinical claim.

He is an East Africa Biodesign fellow at the University of Global Health Equity (with Stanford Biodesign), and has represented Sawazisha's women's-health vision at the Paul E. Farmer Butaro Dialogues on Health Equity and Innovation.

Earlier work spans materials research at Addis Ababa University, WASH and menstrual-hygiene programmes in Ethiopia, and quality and field roles across Kenya — a path from materials and community health into East African MedTech.
