My Story
From IT Project Manager to Founder & CEO of AVEC Technologies - a journey of transformation, impact, and building the digital infrastructure that powers African institutions.
I started my career as an IT Project Manager, learning firsthand how fragmented systems and manual processes hold African institutions back. That experience shaped everything that followed — a decade-long path through business development, strategic partnerships, and ultimately, founding my own technology company.
Today, as Founder & CEO of AVEC Technologies, I lead the design and deployment of AI-powered systems and digital infrastructure that help governments, universities, financial institutions, and enterprises across Africa modernize operations, manage data securely, and scale efficiently. I believe Africa's next era of growth must be built on strong, sovereign digital foundations — built on the continent, for the continent.
Beyond AVEC, I co-founded Sunga to advance financial inclusion, and Uniplexity AI to push the boundaries of what African AI innovation can look like. Through my podcast "Elevate & Dominate," I share insights on technology, mindset, and building high-impact ventures — inspiring professionals and founders to step into their power. I'm always open to meaningful conversations and collaborations that align with this vision. Let's connect and explore opportunities to build, scale, and transform Africa's digital future together.
