Speaking
The room leaves with something to do on Monday.
I speak on product, resilience and the shape of digital Africa — the same themes I write about, sharpened for the room in front of me. No inspirational fog. Frameworks, examples, and the honest bits most speakers leave out.

What I talk about
01
Fixing the product before you scale it
A working session on diagnosing product problems early — before growth spend papers over them.
02
Building from the ground up
Leadership lessons for founders operating without safety nets, from real African case studies.
03
Digital Africa & the next billion
Where the opportunity actually is — infrastructure, mobile-first behaviour, fintech and the SME layer.
04
Resilience without the mythology
An honest talk on the discipline of continuing — for teams tired of hustle-porn.
