Winner, Tech Trailblazer Award 2023
10 years ago when I started my tech career I was unsure of what path I’ll tow.
I tried laptop repairs, wrote Oracle Database exams, IT support, wrote CCNA networking exams, website development et al
Two things were constant
New beginnings 🎉
Are you ready to start your day? I am✈

Building FinTech products is quite complex.
I know we all talk about best user experiences, giving users what they want. Alas, it’s not 1 + 1
But as you build, think of security, risk, compliance, legal.
Build fast, ship fast can be a risk if due diligence is not done
I’m super overwhelmed by the support, praises and prayers that I have received since we announced the product leadership conference,
#TheDIVE2023
The product leadership conference is a huge step in the right direction for the African tech ecosystem.
The conference is 3 days
I almost left tech.
I thought I didn’t have a place in tech.
I thought tech was only for geniuses.
I thought tech only favored men.
I thought my voice will be silenced
I thought I would not matter

Wow.. Now see that girl through

If you think, product management is the easiest way into tech & easier than other tech or non tech roles
Be careful what you wish for!
The expectations are extremely high for product managers, with a lot of pressure to get things right the first time
Think about it properly 💭
I see all the messages, calls , voice notes, prayers 🥰🥰🥰
My phone has been buzzing like almost every second. 😅
Today is definitely a special day.
I feel the love. Thank you 😊

As you grow, you’ll realize that product metrics such as installs and downloads are vanity metrics.
Don’t get overly excited especially when you are not an NGO
Your key focus should be centered on increasing the number of transacting users, when that happens pop a champagne 🍾

I started a Product Management Course that runs from 01:30am to 04:00 am because of the time zone. Two times in a week. 8 weeks in total. Today is one of such days when I am awake studying, working on my assignments so that I can become a better PM.
I'm exhausted.God help me 🙏
I really just love how my morning starts.
🔹️Wake up around 4am
Level up by reading/taking an online course -usually the best time for me to assimilate
🔹️06:20am - go jogging
🔹️07:00am - family devotion

Tell me how do you kick start your day?
