Keexs

I think one of the things that the stories don’t tell enough is the fact that I have been an entrepreneur for almost 10 years before I even started Keexs .

My last job was in Guinness where I worked in the Strategy and Change department, which is like the “thinking” arm of the business and that gave me a lot of exposure to world-class best practices because Guinness is a company that has been in existence for a long time and that means that they have been able to establish some standards across different parts of their business, and having worked in a department like Strategy and Change, it gave me a very wide view of how a business operates.

Let’s backtrack a little bit; I studied microbiology at the University of Lagos. I worked briefly in Port Harcourt in the oil and gas service industry for a while, and when I finished my NYSC because that’s where I did my service, I came back to Lagos and I did MCSE exams, these are Microsoft-type exams and that really threw me into the IT space.
