Topic of Main Talk - From 4 People and a Dream to Leading Insurtech: A Tech Story
We’ll follow Naked’s journey of scaling tech operations –– from four people with an idea to becoming one of Africa’s leading Insurtech startups. Along the way, I’ll share our real-world challenges, lessons learned, and the strategies we used to grow both our systems and our teams. This session hopes to offer practical insights into scaling tech in a fast-evolving industry, whether adopting cloud-native architectures or integrating leadership principles. I hope this will be an interesting talk for people and have useful takeaways.
