Background

I am a founder and CEO of Otinga.io, a company that helps enterprise businesses bring innovative products to market, and grow new business concepts leveraging hackathons and design thinking. I am also a co-founder and CTO of InvestRand, a company that helps ordinary South Africans build wealth for themselves and their families using property investment and technology. I have a strong background in product and software development, DevSecOps, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), and I completed an Executive Business Administration Programme at IE Business School in 2019.

In my previous roles, I led the innovation and technology teams at Port443 and NTT Ltd., where I delivered cutting-edge solutions and products for various clients and industries. I also worked as a product manager for automation at Dimension Data, where I managed the development and deployment of automation tools and platforms across the Middle East and Africa region. I am passionate about creating value and impact through technology, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented teams. I believe that I can bring a unique perspective and experience to any organization that is looking for innovation, leadership, and growth.
