Helping Businesses Strategically Grow Through People-Centric Leadership and CX Excellence | Keynote Speaker
On Monday the 8th I had the privilege of speaking at Seamless Africa 2025 on one of the topics I’m most passionate about: Leveraging bank–fintech partnerships to expand financial access and accelerate SME growth. As I shared on the panel, the real opportunity lies in: 🔹 Bridging strengths — banks provide scale, trust, and compliance; fintechs bring agility and innovation. 🔹 Tailoring solutions — from alternative credit scoring to real-time cross-border payments, partnerships are helping SMEs access the right tools at the right time. 🔹 Scaling inclusion — ensuring that women-led businesses, informal traders, and micro SMEs are not left behind as Africa digitises. 🔹 Building ecosystems — beyond finance, SMEs need logistics, digital platforms, and advisory support to grow sustainably. My key takeaway? 👉 When banks and fintechs collaborate with SMEs at the center, we don’t just create products — we create ecosystems that power Africa’s growth story. A big thank you to Alia Alhussein and my fellow panelists and the Seamless Africa team for facilitating such an important conversation. #SeamlessAfrica #SMEGrowth #Banking #Fintech #Partnerships #AfricaRising
