Derick Kazimoto

Derick builds technical solutions for Africa's informal sector, which is harder than it sounds. He has worked with financial institutions, fintechs and telcos on products meant for customers who have a phone, irregular income and no filed accounts.

He is good at the part most consultants skip: deciding what not to build. His engagements usually start with a long look at what the client already has running before anyone draws an architecture diagram.

He speaks regularly at industry events and has written on fintech, digital transformation and economic development in the region.
