About

Curiosity led me into product management. Purpose keeps me here. I've spent years building fintech products at Flutterwave, where I learned that great products aren't just about features, they're about understanding the complex dance between user needs, regulatory requirements, and business impact. Working in Africa's fintech space taught me that regulatory compliance isn't a checkbox exercise; it's foundational to building trust and scaling responsibly. I've navigated KYC frameworks, payment regulations, and compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions, always asking: How do we stay compliant while keeping the user experience seamless? My journey recently evolved into Product Performance Analysis, where I've become obsessed with turning data into actionable insights. I dive deep into user behavior patterns, conversion funnels, and performance metrics to understand not just what's happening, but why, and what we should do about it. Some highlights that still get me excited: Transformed onboarding for 900K+ merchants by identifying friction points through data analysis, resulting in significantly better adoption rates Improved the success rates for card transactions by 20% Led implementation of an AI-powered support system that improved issue resolution by 86%, proving that the right tech can genuinely improve lives. Other Passionate Projects: Led implementation of an AI-powered support system that improved issue resolution by 86% Passionate about my side project, Koyo, a language learning app for African languages, because I believe technology should celebrate and preserve our cultures Led the Led implementation of an AI-powered health support system that helped diagnose health symptoms. What drives me? The intersection of education, technology, and financial inclusion. I've seen how the right product decisions, backed by solid data and regulatory awareness, can unlock opportunities for millions previously excluded from the financial system. I'm passionate about using AI and data not just because they're trendy, but because they help us build more inclusive, effective solutions. I believe good data practices are essential for responsible innovation.
