Team
The people behind the desk
Our team combines deep expertise in fintech, telecommunications and international business with a shared conviction that financial services across Africa can work considerably better than they currently do.
Leadership
Leadership that builds as well as decides
Together we are building infrastructure that connects businesses to the global economy — and we are close enough to it to answer for how it works.
Afolabi Toriola
Chief Executive Officer
Afolabi brings years of experience in digital infrastructure across Africa. As Chief Executive of Cowrie Integrated Systems, he drives the company's strategic direction — establishing Cowrie as a leading provider of stablecoin and digital-asset settlement in Nigeria, and extending that model into the currency corridors around it.
Gbubemi Agbeyegbe
Chief Technology Officer
Gbubemi drives Cowrie's technological direction, overseeing the development of our secure and scalable platforms. His background in software engineering and cybersecurity is what holds our systems to the standards of reliability and performance that settlement work demands.
Our culture
How we work with each other
At Cowrie we hold to an environment of innovation, collaboration and continuous learning. We believe diverse perspectives produce better solutions, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve.
Integrity, excellence and putting the client first guide every decision we make. In a business where a mistake is measured in somebody else's money, that is a practical commitment rather than a decorative one.
