Yogupay has announced the appointment of Kevin Kigima Ngang'a as its new Chief Commercial Officer, a strategic hire aimed at advancing the company's commercial strategy and expanding its footprint in Africa's growing cross-border payments and trade settlement landscape. The move underscores Yogupay's commitment to building financial infrastructure that delivers faster, more reliable, and transparent settlements for businesses engaged in regional and international trade.
Kevin brings more than 20 years of experience spanning fintech, cross-border payments, foreign exchange, trade finance, and financial infrastructure for emerging markets, with a particular focus on Africa-to-global payment corridors. His career includes senior leadership roles at regulated fintech firms, as well as advisory and venture-building experience in structured trade finance and treasury solutions. This combination of operational expertise and strategic insight equips him to drive market expansion, enhance liquidity frameworks, and align product, sales, and client strategies with real business needs.
A driving factor behind Kevin's decision to join Yogupay is the company's mission to remove financial borders, tackling challenges like settlement delays, liquidity shortages, and opaque processes. Drawing on his own experience as an importer from markets including China and the Middle East, he highlights that speed and liquidity access are as vital as exchange rates in keeping supply chains resilient and uninterrupted.
