This week I speak to a former colleague and Africa's Blockchain baron, Shadrack Kubyane. Shadrack is (re)shaping Africa's supply chains leveraging blockchain. Following his last corporate role with Deloitte, he stepped into Management Consulting, for a decade, with a special focus on scaling businesses. One of those assignments that landed on his desk, was from an ex-colleague from Deloitte, who required growth inputs for her human hair extensions business. Shadrack and team disrupted the sector itself, and address its gaps, and found was a 7 billion USD sector on the continent. We hosted a few dinner meetings with industry leaders. That's when IBM stepped forward to sign two cheques, to back their entry into Blockchain, along with availing global-grade technical expertise. We have never looked back since, we have been creating a platform that is positioned to be the answer to Africa's supply chain gaps, starting with hair, then food and fashion sectors.
