Summary

Corporate Affairs, Moniepoint. 21st-century explorer with an unparalleled understanding of financially underserved communities, currently utilising these insights to develop financial services for the next billion Africans. I have a proven record of success for global brands such as Standard Chartered, Budweiser, KFC, Moneygram, Monster Energy, Bharti Airtel and startups like Facebook, Rensource and TeamApt. I have always been fascinated by growth; how to induce it, how to narrate its journey and how to sustain it and I have built my career around this - to help global brands grow faster. Though I work in marketing, I am primarily a student of human behaviour. This means that I am interested both in how consumer behaviour drives business growth and shapes campaigns as well as how human behaviour can determine public policy or be influenced by it. Currently, my day job straddles financial technology and data, providing me with the opportunity to adjust strategies and campaigns and to creatively tell brand stories based on my day to day interactions with real people. Reach out to me on hey@didiuwem.com for partnerships and speaking opportunities.
