Quotes The key to success would be to "always focus on the long term." "Being the only skyscraper in a city of wooden houses doesn't interest me. I want to see a whole skyline of African fintechs emerge." "Some start-ups led by men move faster and take more risks. I lead with my femininity. I don't need to transform myself into a man to succeed." "I was often the only woman, especially an African woman. Many didn't understand what I was doing there."
