CO-FOUNDER & CHIEF PARTNERSHIPS OFFICER | SETANA CAPITAL

Prince Nwadeyi is the co-founder and Chief Partnerships Officer at Setana Capital. He is an entrepreneur with a background in Economics and Consumer insights. He is deeply passionate about redeeming the financial services sector and using finances as a vehicle to deliver inclusivity and access to SME’s in the informal sector that are either unbanked or financially excluded. This passion has led him on a journey of inquisitorial discovery and reflection across various informal ecosystems on the continent, from Tembisa in South Africa to the streets of Kibera in Nairobi. He believes that access to innovative enabling finance can make a world of difference in amplifying the fortunes of informal SME’s, and so Africa’s continental economy.
