Elizabeth Nasaka

Elizabeth Nasaka is a visionary social entrepreneur and passionate change-maker dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities through innovation and sustainable development. Currently serving as CEO of United Village Global (UVG), Elizabeth co-founded the organization in response to a pivotal conversation on sustainability and social impact. Built on a circular-economy model, UVG links education, clean energy, hydroponic farming, and community resilience for under-served villages across Kenya and beyond.

Prior to this, she distinguished herself in executive roles—most notably heading operations at Agilitee East Africa, Africa’s pioneering electric vehicle and AI firm—where she championed green mobility and job creation for youth and women. Under her leadership, UVG launched the Women in Sustainable Prosperity (WiSP) initiative, which empowers women from marginalized backgrounds through sustainable livelihoods, leadership development, and education.

Elizabeth holds degrees in business and strategy and is pursuing a PhD in Strategic Management and Leadership, reflecting her belief in combining academic rigor with real-world impact. She mentors young women and advocates for institutional change—”I do not want to die as Elizabeth; I want to die as an institution because only institutions transform lives”.

Through her role at UVG and her inspiring career journey, Elizabeth Nasaka is transforming development by empowering individuals and building resilient, village‑centered systems that foster long‑term community impact.
