I’m a Zambian-born entrepreneur raised in the Kingdom of eSwatini, currently shaping the future of banking as a Product Leader at D360 Bank in Saudi Arabia.
I am a self-taught ui/ux designer and front-end developer 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 going down rabbit holes on Twitter.
I have a deep appreciation for great storytelling—whether it’s in movies, books, or the greatest sitcom of all time (The Office US, obviously). Also, if there’s popcorn or KFC Zinger Wings involved, count me in.
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.
