Over almost 15 years, I’ve helped lead and grow consumer products across the UK and South Africa - working with leading businesses like ClearScore and MoneySuperMarket. My experience spans product, strategy, commercial, analytics, and growth, with a track record across startups and scale-ups.
My latest role was leading and scaling the ClearScore South Africa business. Within this role I 10xed revenue, built a profitable business and scaled the userbase to >5 million users.
I'm passionate about building innovative, data-driven but emotionally resonant consumer products - whether advising others or launching my own.
Currently, I work as a consultant and advisor to fintechs and startups, helping them design smarter strategies, unlock growth, and build better customer experiences. I'm also actively launching a new startup in Proptech here in South Africa - drawing on global insights to reimagine how property works for everyday home buyers and sellers.More...

Director of Product Management@Swvl

Hey, I’m Akirt! I love taking an idea, shaping it into a product, and seeing it come to life in the hands of users. My journey has been all about solving problems at scale, navigating ambiguity, and making things work—often in ways that weren’t obvious at first.
I’ve worked across multiple geographies, tackled big, messy challenges, and built systems that don’t just work, but thrive. Whether it’s launching a new product, untangling operational chaos, or finding that one insight hidden in data that changes everything—this is the kind of work that keeps me hooked.
A few things that get me excited:
✅ Cracking the puzzle of why something isn’t working & fixing it at scale
✅ Building products that feel effortless for users but are powered by deep complexity
✅ Working with smart, driven people who push boundaries & challenge ideas
✅ Seeing the direct impact of what I build—whether on a business, a team, or a city
I’m always up for conversations with fellow builders, operators, and thinkers. If you’re working on something interesting—or just want to bounce around ideas—let’s connect!More...
