Meet Roger

hello!

I'm passionate about technology and its potential to change Africa and focus on startups as a vehicle for innovation. 

I currently serve as the Chief Product Officer at OkHi. Previously I was Head of Product at Founders Factory Africa, prior to that I was the co-founder and COO of Trixta and before that, CEO of a startup studio Playlogix where we developed over 50 tech products in just 5 years. This experience taught me the importance of validating business models, which prompted me to co-found Lean Iterator, a validation process to guide entrepreneurs and investors.

My passion for empowering entrepreneurs led me to author 'Start Here,' a book on building startups. I am highly optimistic about the burgeoning African and specifically my local Cape Townian startup ecosystem I've serving as a mentor at various accelerators and incubators and making strategic angel investments.
