The former Managing Director of Lamudi Nigeria Obi Ejimofo has been unveiled as the head of African operations for Asoko Insight as the venture shifts gears on the heels of its recent funding round.
Ejimofo was already part of the Asoko Insight advisory team and will now lead the venture’s drive to scale its operations across sub-Saharan African markets.
“I am really excited to be joining Asoko Insight at this pivotal stage in our story. Our objective is simple – to become the go-to source of corporate data and market intelligence for a global investment community that sees Sub-Saharan Africa as the next growth frontier.” said Ejimofo.
His announcement comes quickly after Asoko Insight publicly announced it had secured $1.35 million in seed funding.
The London-headquartered firm will use the funding to rapidly scale its data and content operations across Africa’s most dynamic growth markets.
“Obi’s experience running Africa focused operations is of critical value to optimizing our next growth phase and building superior analytics on African companies. We’re delighted to welcome him to the management team,” announced Asoko co-founder, Rob Withagen.
