Michael Okeje
AI Strategy & Growth Leader
Turning AI into business outcomes. 12+ years scaling digital products across Africa. Now helping organisations embed AI into how they work.
About Me
I am a results-driven AI Strategy, Growth, and Product leader with over 12 years of experience scaling digital products and subscription businesses across Africa. I sit at the intersection of three worlds: AI transformation, digital growth strategy, and product thinking. I use all three together to help organisations grow, adapt, and thrive.
Since 2025, I have been actively leading AI transformation engagements through Acelytics, designing enterprise AI strategies, building internal AI-powered applications, automating workflows, and training teams to embed AI into how they work every day. Before that, I spent over a decade growing digital audiences and subscription revenues at scale, most notably helping grow Mdundo.com from 7 million to 40 million monthly active users across Africa.
