"I was often the only woman, especially an African woman. Many didnt understand what I was doing there.""

"The key to success would be to "always focus on the long term."

"I didnt just want to manipulate numbers, but to have a real impact."

"Being the only skyscraper in a city of wooden houses doesnt interest me. I want to see a whole skyline of African fintechs emerge."

"Some start-ups led by men move faster and take more risks. I lead with my femininity. I dont need to transform myself into a man to succeed."
