MEET OKRA

Meet the people behind Okra.

We are proud of what we are building, but none of it would be possible without the team building it.

That's an interesting one, and I can't say for sure. However, a couple of months before my first anniversary at Reblaze, I started to compare career paths in cybersecurity and fintech. For some reason, the thought of switching to fintech came up because, from the outside, it looked fast-paced, and I loved that. Thankfully, I was not disappointed.

Yearly Offsites/Retreats

Every year, we will slow things down for a time at the end of the year to reflect, bond and strategise as a team. As our mission is inherently to transform the African continent, we want to explore various parts of Africa together.
