About Me
I am a passionate leader with a diverse background spanning finance, technology, and healthcare. Born in Bolgatanga, Ghana, my journey reflects a deep commitment to driving innovation and solving real challenges across Africa.
After completing my Master’s degree in the UK, I returned to Ghana to begin my entrepreneurial path — first launching a construction company, then co-founding a healthcare startup that has grown into one of Ghana’s leading hospitals.
I spent a decade at Standard Chartered Bank, where I held leadership roles across products, sales, risk, and digital transformation, gaining broad experience in financial services and cross-market operations. In 2022, I transitioned into the fintech space, taking on a leadership role at a global fintech unicorn, where I spearheaded market entry into Ghana, secured a Payments Service Provider license, and established strategic partnerships with global players in banking, e-commerce, and ride-hailing.
Today, I am the Founder & CEO of Ndel Technologies, an innovation hub building transformative platforms across:
💳 Fintech (NdelPay) – seamless digital payments powering financial empowerment
🏥 Healthtech (BawaHealth Telemed) – expanding access to healthcare through telemedicine
🗣️ Civictech (CivicEye GH) – promoting transparency and accountability in governance
🌍 Culture-tech (Chale! Speak Ghana) – preserving and celebrating Ghanaian culture in the digital age
My mission is to leverage leadership, adaptability, and innovation to create meaningful impact across Africa and beyond.
