Nnamdi Oranye is a telecommunications, financial and technology consultant who oversees projects for some of the leading banks and service providers in Africa – and globally. He has a particular passion for using mobile payments in the telecommunications industry as a catalyst for financial inclusion, focusing on projects that not only deliver a return for the originating organisation, but for the unbanked citizens of the countries he works in. Notably, his drive of the 'freemium’ concept in the mobile financial services space resulted in him being featured in a number of media outlets, including the eNCAsTechReport, Channel Africa, PowerFM, SABC's Lotus FM, Smile FM, HumanIPO, CLIPDC and ITWeb. Additionally, Oranye has spoken and chaired at various conferences, including Mobile Money Africa, NigeriaCom, AfricaCom, FinanceTech, CLIPDC, Mobile Money Expo, Cards & Payments Africa and ACCA's CXO Event. Recently, he was a judge at the prestigious AfricaCom Awards Ceremony, which recognises exemplary telecommunications achievements across Africa. Oranye sits on the 2014 Mobile Money Africa Advisory Board, as well as the AfricaCom100 Research Board, and he has been named as one of the "100 most influential names in Africa's telecoms, media and ICT industry".
