My Bio

I am Chief Operating Officer for Mobile Wallets at Sasai Fintech, a company which is focused on delivering innovative solutions to the problem of financial inclusion at scale across Africa. I also serve as a board member for Tyme Bank. Past experience includes being Executive Director: Sub-Saharan Africa Debt Capitals Markets at J.P. Morgan where I participated in raising over US$35 billion worth of capital for blue chip corporates and governments across Africa.

My professional vision is to harness financial services and technology for positive impact in Africa.

My personal vision is to mentor students to excel as leaders, critical thinkers and empowered citizens.

My Publications

I have written two books to guide and inspire the next generation. The transition to adulthood is fraught with challenges, often made more difficult by a lack of effective guidance.

The "village" that once nurtured many is not the same for current and upcoming generations; while not broken, it has developed significant gaps. These books offer essential guidance, empowering young people to confidently lead their personal development, build resilience, and future-proof their career strategies, whether entrepreneurial or within the traditional workplace.

This mentorship augments the village, ensuring our youth feel supported, heard and equipped for their future.
