The story behind the work.
Newton Gichuru is a digital strategist, AI trainer and the founder of Hush Solutions Limited, a Nairobi based digital agency serving companies across East Africa.
The short version
Newton Gichuru is a digital strategist and AI trainer based in Nairobi. He founded Hush Solutions Limited in January 2021. He has trained more than 500 companies across East Africa on how to use AI and digital tools to grow.
The longer version
Newton spent over a decade inside Kenya's tech and digital media scene, working across product, content and commercial teams before starting his own studio. That mix, building things, selling things, communicating things, became the shape of his practice.
In January 2021 he founded Hush Solutions Limited, a Nairobi digital agency built on a simple idea: African businesses deserve digital work that is direct, honest and commercially serious. The studio started with web development and branding, grew into social media, SEO and Google Ads, by 2023 had become one of the region's most sought after AI training providers.
Today Newton splits his time between running Hush Solutions, training corporate teams, speaking at conferences and industry events, advising leaders through their AI shift.
What I believe
AI is not going to save African business, it is not going to destroy it. It is going to reward the teams who learn to use it well and slowly leave everyone else behind. That is the entire story.
The work I care about is unfashionable. It is training people. Writing clear policies. Rebuilding boring workflows so they stop wasting hours. It is not glamorous. It is what actually changes a business.

How I work
Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation. I refuse to sell training or consulting that is not tailored to your team. If we are a fit, I write a clear scope, put a price on it, deliver. If we are not, I say so.
Beyond work
Outside client work, Newton hikes across Kenya, spends time in nature, teaches informally where he can and plays music. It keeps the strategist honest.
