I’m an entrepreneur and builder at the intersection of fintech, blockchain, and financial inclusion. My work focuses on creating real-world payment solutions that bridge the gap between global digital assets and local economies in Africa.
I lead NedaPay, a stablecoin-native payments platform designed for underserved markets, enabling merchants, traders, and freelancers to send, receive, and off-ramp stablecoins seamlessly via mobile money, banks, and cash agents.
With experience spanning product development, community activation, and cross-border payments, I’ve worked directly with grassroots networks, from informal market traders to SMEs to bring them into the digital economy. My approach blends technology, regulatory awareness, and human-centered design to ensure adoption is practical, compliant, and impactful.
Beyond my startup, I’m passionate about building partnerships that expand access to modern financial tools, especially in regions where traditional banking is inaccessible or inefficient. I believe stablecoins are not just a speculative asset, but a tool for economic empowerment and trade enablement — and I’m committed to proving that through tangible, measurable projects.
