About

As the Group Chief Executive Officer at EFT Corporation since early 2024, I lead a dynamic organization at the forefront of fintech innovation. With over five years of experience driving transformative financial solutions, my work emphasizes bridging the gap between traditional banking and underserved markets. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and fostering strategic partnerships, our team delivers impactful digital services that empower businesses and individuals across Africa. Previously, as CEO of Ukheshe, I contributed to reshaping fintech enablement by building scalable ecosystems for digital banking, payments, and merchant services. My mission remains focused on driving financial inclusion and creating economic opportunities. Through collaborative leadership and a commitment to innovation, I strive to unlock meaningful growth and empower communities to thrive in the digital economy.
