Mike Pedersen

Personal Info

M y passion is for the intersection between business and IT. In particular business processes and operations, and for improving these through the clever application of IT. Thinking through process mapping and optimization is my strong suit.

As a manager my main focus is on innovation, collaboration, employee retention, and training. My approach is that of mentorship where I try to empower the individual employee to excellence through mentoring and instilling a learning culture.

As a business leader in both Finance and Engineering, my strength is more in detail orientation and documentation. Building scalable tech operations is my strength. I am the introvert that really enjoys spending hours and hours on the details that will streamline a given process.

Through my activities in East Africa I have gained a great understanding about how the East African society works, and especially how SME’s, and therefore the people and their financials in the region.

      Bob Otiende

      Personal Info

      What is a pilot doing at a Fintech company you might ask? COVID taught me, and my sector in general, a lot of things. Diversification of thought and skill sets was one thing, but the power of community had to be the other. As a young person (28) I got to learn that the Africans my age are building what they need, to be anything they want. Being the youngest continent on the planet, 60% of the population is under 25 years old with a median age of 19.7, Africa’s future is her young people. They are innovative, daring and are slowly but surely making their mark know and presence felt on various global stages. Equitable resource distribution is the missing link. The resources are largely available for the most part, but we need a way to share them amongst ourselves. Peer-to-peer lending is building on who we are to energize what we want. Tribbe, for me, is that energy in motion.

      Professional Experience

      Otiende Bob is an airline pilot flying for the Kenyan National Carrier – Kenya Airways, joining as one of the youngest pilots they had. In his 10 year career, he rose up the ranks to fly the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

      Beyond the technical skills required to execute his role as a pilot, planning for and executing a flight safely & efficiently relied on people management skills to synergies people capital in the achievement of a common goal which he is impeccable at.

      Bob is also a dedicated Toastmaster, having served in varies leadership roles, the latest being as president of his club. Through the various leadership roles, he has learned to manage and lead diverse teams.

      Bob has participated in executive training by Havard Business School, Michigan University and YC Startup School just to name a few.

        Tonee Ndungu

        What I believe

        What do I believe when it comes to finance and the potential it has for Africa? It’s everything. I believe we are our own biggest resource. Never mind that we have been that for the world for generations. So we do this knowing we are the answer to many, if not most, of our challenges. All we are, and should be for ourselves, is communal opportunity. Tribbe is about bringing the sentiment of support into formal function and lifting the conversation of what is possible into what is actual. Capitalism can work with a few amendments. We are here to make credit work for Africa, by Africans.
