Being back in Nairobi and hanging out with the incredible team at AZA Finance, is a reminder of just how special this group is. Building in fintech isn’t easy, especially in the fast-moving world of African payments, but having a team like this makes all the difference.✨#TeamAZA

Had the pleasure of connecting with April Long of Pyxis, a fellow female founder, making waves in the Afro-Asian payments space. It’s not every day that I meet another woman in this field, and it was a powerful reminder that while we may be few,we are mighty! 💪 #ATSNBO

A decade ago, Charlene Chen and I founded Bitpesa (Now AZA Finance) in Nairobi, fuelled by a shared vision to transform payments in Africa. Seeing her again at the #ATSNBO, 10 years since we first left Kenya to expand across the continent, was a full-circle moment! ✨

Stablecoins should be a game-changer, facilitating faster, cheaper, and more inclusive global finance. 🚀 But treasurers are still stuck navigating outdated rules and unclear policies. If you'd like to learn more check out my newest Forbes article here: forbes.com/sites/elizabet…
