Fachgebiete

I've scaled technology two technology startups in Africa: Uber (transport-tech), and Branch.co (fintech) to over 2.7 million users. I combine startup strategy and operations, finance and technology experience. I’ve built teams, systems and culture that help tech organizations scale to profitability. I've also mentored a few startups. I’ve invested in two startups (Uber and Branch.co). I’ve also raised debt funds for a tech startup without a credit rating (similar to equity, as risk is higher) and raised $15m in total.
