Background

About Toby Nwanede

I specialise in turning overlooked local patterns into practical, working solutions, especially where big consulting or heavy teams often stall. Over the past few years, I’ve designed and delivered digital systems for airlines, retail groups, governments, and youth-focused organisations across Africa, the UK, and Europe. These include fintech, booking engines, gaming and game based platforms, loyalty platforms, social commerce tools, and national employment programmes, all built lean, profitably, and adapted for real local conditions. My strength is blending pattern recognition, systems design, and local execution. I don’t just advise, I scope, pilot, align stakeholders, and ensure solutions launch and scale without waste. What I’m working on now: • Arena XP: A live gamification and engagement platform used by brands, churches, and entertainment companies for audience monetisation, loyalty and participation. • PIF: A peer-to-peer gifting engine for diaspora giving, local CSR, and retail promotions. • Compowco (Community Powered Commerce): A social commerce and referral tool for MSMEs, student sales teams, and community agent networks. • SERA: A smart stock redistribution system helping pharmacies reduce waste and free up working capital. All built under my venture studio: Scintilla Innovations (Nigeria & UK) — lean, self-funded, with 60%+ project margins. How I plug in: Special Advisor to governments or sovereign funds needing practical digital economy or youth solutions. Strategic Program Manager or Partner for global tech companies expanding local cloud and digital adoption. Entrepreneur-in-Residence to design, pilot, and scale ventures that solve real local problems. Let’s build what others won’t.
