At Kyosk, we have the amazing opportunity to build solutions that provide real impact on the informal retail sector across the African continent. Our solutions enable access for the informal retailer starting from the FMCG (Fast Moving Retailer Goods) space all the way to insurance, credit, utility payments, and much more.

In the Engineering space, we pride ourselves on being dynamic which allows team members to work in exciting areas of their interest. For example, I personally have had the amazing opportunity to lead highly innovative teams and to also have direct exposure to solving our customers’ problems. This has played a huge role in shaping my everyday decisions ensuring we are always at the forefront of our customers’ needs. Thinking about the customer first.

I absolutely love working with Kyosk because it is an opportunity to work with a world-class operation, product, and engineering team that has representation across Africa to innovate to develop products that empower informal retailers collaboratively. Informal retailers are a major contributor to the African economy because consumers get access to basic necessities such as dry foods, cooking oil, toiletries, fresh foods, etc. Grateful to be part of a team that is constantly innovating for ways to reduce the cost of distributing for informal retailers because it connects with my personal purpose and my desire for business/professional impact.

I can describe working at Kyosk as being exciting, motivating, stirring, and fulfilling. It is a highlight of my professional career because I get to work with talented engineers, interesting perspectives, diverse applications of technology, and never-seen-before system architectures; all this is towards a great cause. I have learned much and have been challenged to come up with innovative ways to solve problems, and it is fulfilling because the input I give actually counts towards making the lives of millions of people better.
