About Peter

Welcome. I am a FinTech leader passionate about solving real-world financial challenges through next-generation technology. As the Country Manager for Yellow Card in Kenya, I am dedicated to driving financial inclusion by making digital finance accessible, affordable, and secure for everyone across East Africa.

My work centres on the practical utility of stablecoins, everaging them to create seamless, cost-effective alternatives for:

  • Remittances: Ensuring money sent home is received faster and cheaper.

  • Cross-Border Payments: Empowering businesses with efficient solutions for international trade.

  • Protection: Offering a mechanism to guard against local currency volatility.

The rapid adoption of mobile money in Kenya provides the ideal foundation for integrating these digital innovations. I believe in fostering a collaborative ecosystem through strategic partnerships with banks, Mobile Network Operators and local Payment Service Providers to ensure this technology serves the needs of the African market.
