    Have you ever heard of Ope of Cowrywise? Last Monday, July 1, 2024. I walked in through the doors of Cowrywise and resumed as People Operations Lead, a walk that culminated in my meeting the renowned Ope of Cowrywise. Yes! I met Ope! Ope is everything I’ve heard and more. Ope is smart, savvy, witty and so much fun to be with. 😊 The journey that led me here (albeit long and a story for another day😁) has been truly exciting. I love adventures. New challenges thrill me. And so, the opportunity to join the brilliant team democratizing and digitizing wealth management for young Nigerians and Africans in such a phenomenal way, is for me, truly exhilarating! Much of last week was spent getting onboarded; throughout the different sessions and interactions, I couldn’t help but marvel at the level of intentionality and tact that goes into everything we do at Cowrywise. There’s literally no stone left unturned in helping young Africans “Plan. Save. Invest.” As I continue to explore this certainly adventurous journey, I look forward to helping our people be their best, give their best and have the best experience while at it, as we together build the best place to work. That said, The lights are on, the camera is rolling, let’s get to work. 💪 PS - Wanna find out who Ope is?

Together with Liz Adesigbin, we’d be creating the best experience for our people at Cowrywise.
