    In this inspiring episode of Let’s Talk Data, I sit down with Tarebi Alebiosu, an award-winning tech innovator and entrepreneur based in Lagos, Nigeria. As the founder and CEO of QShop Tech Inc, Tarebi is transforming the African e-commerce landscape by empowering over 25,000 SMEs across Nigeria and Ghana with scalable digital solutions.

    - The rise of e-commerce in Africa and the structural changes needed to unlock its full potential
    - Leveraging AI responsibly to bridge the gap between strategy and day-to-day execution
    - Self-advocacy, mentorship, and leadership in male-dominated industries
    - Breaking barriers as a woman in tech and inspiring the next generation

    We also discuss her recent recognition as a Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award winner, what this milestone means to her, and how she balances entrepreneurship with her personal journey of growth and self-love.

    The Digital CEO: Gerrie Fourie on Leading with Purpose in the Age of AI
    Jun 27 2025
    In episode 2 of Let’s Talk Data, Lebogang Langa sits down with Gerrie Fourie, outgoing CEO of Capitec Bank, to reflect on nearly three decades of leadership and transformation. As a pioneer of people-centered, tech-enabled banking, Gerrie shares his insights on what it means to lead with purpose in the age of AI, and how Capitec became one of South Africa’s most trusted financial institutions by blending digital innovation with deep human empathy.

    We explore the future of work, financial inclusion, and the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence in a country still grappling with inequality. From his views on building resilient teams, to Capitec’s role in shaping a digitally empowered South Africa, this conversation is both timely and deeply personal.

    What legacy does Gerrie hope to leave — not just for Capitec, but for a generation of leaders navigating change? And how do we ensure AI becomes a force for economic inclusion, not exclusion?

    This is an episode about leadership, legacy, and the power of data to shape a more just future.
