Where it all began.
Brian G.
Bikuri
Brian is the architect of Black Shepherd Technologies — Kenya's leading e-commerce and digital agency. With a decade of experience building revenue-generating digital systems for businesses across Africa, Europe, and the Gulf, he founded BST on one conviction: African brands deserve world-class digital infrastructure. Under his leadership, BST has grown from a Nairobi studio to a 5-node global operation serving 17,000+ clients.
The executive layer.
Seven leaders across sales, technology, creative, and strategy — each a specialist, together a force.
Vera leads all client acquisition, onboarding, and long-term retention at BST. Her relentless follow-through and empathy-driven approach have earned BST its 97% client satisfaction score and record repeat-business rate across Kenya and East Africa.
James oversees all technical delivery at BST — from WooCommerce builds to custom SaaS platforms. With a background in full-stack engineering and cloud infrastructure, he ensures every project ships fast, secure, and scalable.
