Kenechukwu Uche is a growth advisor and entrepreneur exploring the potential of AI and Stablecoins for e-commerce through his company called Fluentshop.

Born in Nigeria and currently based in Kigali, he spends his days solving product growth puzzles for early stage fintech companies and tinkering on what’s possible with AI & Stablecoins.

He’s serious about his work but not as formal as people think – get to know him, and you might catch him singing, dancing, or cracking a dry dad joke when you least expect it.

Tell us a bit about yourself. What do you do? and what does a regular day look like for you?

"I wear two hats. First, I am a growth advisor, acquiring users for early stage fintech startups. Second, I'm an entrepreneur tinkering on what's possible with AI and Stablecoins for e-commerce. My regular day starts by hitting the gym or doing 100 pushups indoors while blasting Gabzy or Oxlade. I sprint through my morning standup calls with a hot cup of coffee and prepare a tasklist for the day. After work, I scroll through twitter for a bit while demolishing a plate of hot eba"

Where did you grow up? and where do you live now?

"I was born in a small town called Ituku in Enugu, South East Nigeria. Had most of my early education across South West Nigeria in Ile-Ife and Akure. Came back to Owerri for college. Moved to Lagos immediately after graduation and got my first job at a furniture company in Ikeja. I am currently living in Kigali, Rwanda but moving to California this summer to study a Masters in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at University of California and was awarded both the prestigious Merage for Africa Full-Tuition scholarship & Merage for Africa ambassador which recognises an individual’s stellar academic and professional accomplishments."
