At the peak of one of our most ambitious digital transformations — a sweeping cloud migration spanning multiple banks across Africa — I was asked to step in and take command. Deadlines had slipped, complexity had grown, and momentum was fading.

More than 370 million African adults remain unbanked—yet mobile money penetration is among the highest globally. Open Banking is the missing bridge: a catalyst for inclusive economic growth and innovation across the continent.

Banking is undergoing a fundamental shift. Systems that once delivered stability and scale are now limiting the speed, agility, and intelligence today's customers and markets demand.

In financial services, cloud migration without strategy is like scaling a skyscraper with no blueprint: risky, expensive, and slow. To remain competitive, financial institutions must harness the cloud's potential to deliver cost savings, scale operations, and innovate.
