I'm Kennedy Ekezie. Serial Entrepreneur, and the CEO of Kippa. My adventure lies at the intersection of history, art, technology, fashion and philosophy. I have shared my story on the biggest global stages: the United Nations, TEDx, 40+ Universities across 4 continents, and more. I am passionate about living my life boundlessly and helping others see that they can too.

I BUILD THINGS FROM 0 - 1

I’m spending my 20s building businesses in my home continent of Africa. I am CEO at Kippa. I have raised ~$12M in the past 18 months to build digital solutions for African merchants. Before this, I lived in Beijing for 2 years, where I led user acquisition and growth for Tiktok’s expansion to Africa. Before 22, I lived across 3 different countries. I spend my time between Nigeria, various cities in the US and London.

My work has been awarded and personally recognized by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth of England, President Obama, Theresa May, Sir John Major, David Beckham, Caroline Kennedy and Nile Rodgers.

I have built a following sharing (bullshit-free) learnings picked up along the way with other young people across the world.
