Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

I build businesses in markets most people find too complicated. Over the past 12 years, I've launched and scaled products across 50+ countries: from marketplaces in West Africa to remittances in Asia/LatAm to apartment rentals in Europe. Currently CCO at Taptap Send, where I own commercial strategy, partnerships, and new product launches across North America, Europe, Asia, LatAm, GCC, and Africa. Before that, I held GM and MD roles at Rocket Internet, Blueground, and Breather. I think in P&Ls, I hire well, and I'm most useful when someone hands me a messy, ambiguous problem in a new market.
