I am an autodidact, a lover of data, entrepreneur, and investor. I take high level ideas and build them into revenue generating products/companies. I get stuff done. Currently, I am involved in product development, design thinking, user research/testing and investing activities for early stage start-ups and growth companies in Africa to position them strategically and present them effectively as they compete for capital, talent, attention and revenue.

I have been applying design thinking for 4+ years since I stumbled into the world of design. It has helped me change the way people book their bus tickets (Oya.com.ng which got acquired by Wakanow.com) to creating winning product strategies (e.g. Verifi). Design thinking has allowed me build 2 products that users loved so much the products got acquired by larger firms. I learnt most of what I do today from the classes by Masumi Matsumoto (senior designer at Google) and S.L. Rao (senior Product Designer at Microsoft).
