The founder

Ryan has run growth and market entry inside the operators you are benchmarking against.

  1. 2013–2018 · Adapt, Hirt & Carter

    Five years immersed in African informal-retail distribution — last-mile, trade marketing and route-to-market across 20+ markets. Client brands included Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Unilever, Mondelēz, GSK and SABMiller.

  2. 2018–now · Betting, crypto and payments

    Senior growth and market-entry roles at Betway, KingMakers, SuperSport, Thrill and BetKing.

Same informal retail, same agents, same cash. A different product on the shelf.
