Two intense days at #IFF2026 in Kigali reminded me how central talent has become to the future of fintech in Africa. Infrastructure, funding, and regulation all matter, but without the right people, nothing moves.

@PortugalEmbBKK Atendimento péssimo. Chegámos com um problema urgente e nem chegámos a passar da porta. Ninguém parecia entender português escrevemos uma nota em inglês e agora é só rezar.

@easyJet maybe a computer science degree is not enough, but how do I renew my easyJet plus? There is NO BUTTON (at least on iPhone web). And with the same password the PC won’t let me in
