I’m a Zambian-born entrepreneur raised in the kingdom of eSwatini. I am currently a product manager at a Fintech startup in Saudi Arabia and co-founder of Simplimantis.
I am a self-taught UI/UX designer, currently learning front-end development with a background in investment management and mathematical statistics. I have a keen interest in start-ups, psychology, business strategy, philosophy and product design. I am incredibly passionate about helping entrepreneurs and organisations turn their ideas into problem-solving products. When I'm not working on building the future of banking in the Middle East, I'm either writing, coding, designing, reading, or ranting about random stuff on Twitter. I love popcorn, KFC Zinger Wings, movies, and I think The Office (US) is the greatest sitcom of all time.
Here I share all sorts of insights and behind-the-scenes happenings on being an entrepreneur. Everything I write about is what I wish I had read before embarking on this journey.
I regularly speak about turning ideas into problem-solving products from the perspective of a self-taught tech entrepreneur and product manager. I’ve spoken on a panel at Aspiring Black Leaders, the Impact Venture Incubation Programme at the UCT Graduate School of Business, a workshop for the Allan Gray Association, among many others. If you think I would be a good fit for your conference, event or workshop, contact me.
