I am a seasoned executive with over 25 years of experience in the financial services sector, specializing in FinTech, PropTech, InsurTech, and digital transformation. As the Group CTIO at MTN MoMo, I lead the digital strategy and IT requirements for one of the world's leading mobile financial services platforms, servicing 64M+ monthly active clients, one of the largest merchant networks in SSA and handling 1.6B+ transactions on a monthly basis. On top of that MoMo is one of the largest credit intermediaries on the continent. My mission is to enable the seamless provision of payments, remittances, insurance, lending, savings, marketplace, content, and more, through our innovative and inclusive ecosystem. I have a proven track record of generating USD B’s in profits for my employers, directing multiple successful turnarounds, winning various awards for outstanding performance, and leading geographically dispersed teams of up to 1000+ FTEs. I am also recognized for my exceptional ability to manage complex projects from conception to delivery, as well as building lucrative long-term partnerships. I hold a CISA certification and a Wharton Fintech executive education, which demonstrate my expertise and commitment to the field. I am passionate about driving financial inclusion and digital empowerment, making the lives of our clients a little bit better every day.
