BIO
Co-Founder and CEO of Numida. I'm a two time founder and along with Numida's CTO I previously worked on another lending company in Ghana that failed. I'm Egyptian and Canadian and have lived and worked in Uganda, Ghana, Zambia and Colombia. I fundamentally believe that the growth of micro and small businesses in Africa is the key to economic prosperity for hundreds of millions of people!
