About me

Helping African fashion designer build with clarity and structure

I’m Chinelo Kachi-Nwogu, founder of CUMO London and the voice behind Coach Nello. I work with early-stage African fashion founders who are building beautiful brands but struggling with clarity around positioning, brand messaging, and consistent sales. Many founders don’t lack ideas. They lack structure. My work focuses on helping founders simplify their strategy so they can move forward with confidence and discipline.

My Approach
My philosophy is simple: Clarity creates momentum.
When founders understand who they serve, what their brand stands for, and how to communicate their value, execution becomes easier.
My work focuses on three core areas:
Clarity: Defining your positioning, audience, and brand message.
Structure: Creating a strategy that supports consistent action.
Execution: Helping you move from overthinking to confident implementation.

My Background
Alongside building CUMO London, my work is shaped by a data-driven mindset that prioritises thoughtful decision-making over hype or trends. Through conversations with emerging founders, I’ve seen how often confusion slows growth. My goal is to help founders simplify their strategy and build brands with intention.

Testimonials

Before working with Nello, I felt like I was doing everything but getting nowhere. I had products, I was posting, but nothing was converting. In just one session, she helped me see exactly where I was going wrong; my messaging wasn’t clear and my customer journey was all over the place.

After implementing what she showed me, I finally started getting consistent enquiries and my first proper sales week. The clarity alone was worth it.

I didn’t realise how disorganised my business was until I spoke to Nello. I was relying on vibes and guesswork 😅

She broke everything down — from how my content should actually lead to sales, to the systems I needed behind the scenes. Now I have a proper structure, I know what I’m doing every week, and my content finally makes sense.

Honestly, it feels like I’ve gone from confused to confident.
