Edgar Odey
Entrepreneur in Lagos Nigeria
I am Edgar Odey, a multifaceted engineer, faith-driven entrepreneur, and builder focused on creating practical technology solutions for real-world problems.
I am the Founder & CEO of Packet Africa, a platform empowering creators, educators, and communities across Africa with tools to monetize, engage their audience, sell digital products, host events, and build sustainable digital businesses.
My journey has been shaped by a strong bias for execution and speed. I have founded and led ventures such as Darsh, a food and grocery delivery service for emerging markets, and Yabatech Delivery, a campus-driven solution that scaled quickly to meet student needs and expand beyond its initial environment.
Beyond building, I have led sales, customer growth, and product execution across different stages of startups, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to take ideas from zero to adoption.
I am deeply passionate about leveraging technology to unlock economic opportunities, especially for young Africans. My work sits at the intersection of innovation, community, and impact—focused on building systems that simplify access, create value, and drive real growth.
Driven by faith and purpose, I am committed to building solutions that not only solve problems but also empower people to pursue bold ideas and create meaningful change.
