Boluwaji Alepaye's Hot Take - Western Product Teaching Doesn't Work in Nigeria (with Boluwaji Alepaye, Product Manager @ Moniepoint)

Listen Later

Boluwaji Alepaye is a product manager who works for Moniepoint, a Nigerian fintech firm that aims to power financial dreams in emerging markets. He's also an active mentor, aiming to help Nigerian product managers thrive.

His hot take? That the classic product management advice that comes out of the US and Western Europe just doesn't apply to Nigeria, where market dynamics mean that you have to make very different product decisions, and even the local training courses are dominated by Western voices.
