“The depth of experience our new Board members bring will support Ouranos Technologies in delivering innovative, secure, and scalable technology solutions for our customers across the region,” Okon said.

Ahmed brings over 25 years of experience spanning consulting, banking, manufacturing, and capital markets. He has held senior leadership roles in organisations such as Arthur Andersen/KPMG, Zenith Bank Plc, Skye Bank Plc, Variant Advisory Limited, and BUA Group, where he played a key role in the listing of BUA Foods Plc on the Nigerian Exchange.

She is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management and has led several large-scale transformation initiatives, including enterprise restructuring and HR digitisation.

Also appointed to the Board is Olabode, a finance and operations executive with over 18 years of multinational experience across logistics, supply chain, and corporate finance.

He is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, ACCA, and is currently an Executive MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.

The company said the appointments are part of its broader strategy to deepen its focus on enterprise technology delivery, cybersecurity innovation, and strategic partnerships across Africa.
