Ask me about: • How I'm building the future of gaming using blockchain technology! • How I'm trying to end energy poverty! • How I can help you grow your brand or business using social media! I'm the Head of Gaming at Polkastarter, the web3 fundraising platform which has conducted 100+ IDOs raising over 50M+ USD to date, with over 11.8M+ USD across 27+ gaming projects. Partnering up with some of the biggest game titles in the space, I proudly lead the strategy, growth & expansion of Polkastarter Gaming which now boasts a community of over 70,000+ gamers from across the globe & serves on board of top web3 gaming projects as an advisor. My goal is to onboard the next 100M+ gamers into the web3 gaming space with Polkastarter Gaming by lowering barriers to entry and building an integrated blockchain gaming ecosystem.

Beyond blockchain gaming, I also serve as Co-Founder & CEO of U-Light - a social enterprise that provides energy solutions to off-grid communities which has already impacted the lives of over 12,000+ people across Nigeria, Kenya and Lebanon. I'm super passionate about storytelling - enough to lecture, consult and speak about the art and science of it.
