Celestine Omin, Senior Consultant at Andela Nigeria has left the company to become the first Engineering Manager at Paystack, a technology company solving payments problems for businesses.
Celestine made this announcement via a post recently. According to him, he “will be leading a bunch of the engineering effort here; hiring, building and scaling the engineering teams.” “I will also spend time talking to entrepreneurs who are looking to integrate Paystack in their products. I will be speaking more at technology conferences, like a lot more.”
He adds; “You may ask why Paystack and what are we trying to do here? Well, during the last company’s off-site, Shola stressed the fact that our aim is to increase the Internet GDP in Africa, I like to think about it a bit differently, we are building the PaymentOS for Africa. Simple. If you think about the concept of an operating system, it is that base layer upon which every other thing rides on and that is where Paystack is headed; Africa’s PaymentOS.”
Founded by Shola Akinlade and Ezra Olubi, Paystack makes it easy for businesses to accept secure payments from multiple local and global payment channels.
Some months ago, Paystack raised $8 million in Series A funding from Stripe, Visa and Tencent.
