Radical Visionary, Chika Uwazie, CEO and founder of TalentBase, offers her unique experience as an entrepreneur building talent software for African small businesses. Uwazie says, “I knew I was an entrepreneur when working my 9-5 job, I was always doing other things in technology and I knew I wanted to do something that could impact Africa . . . There’s not a lot of people that look like me, I want to be an inspiration to other women to see that being in technology is possible.”

Uwazie shares her advice on finding the right partner and her current challenges with targeting her customers, who are mostly offline. With a drive for innovating African companies and bringing a paperless payroll management system to Nigeria, Uwazie and her team created TalentBase, an affordable and highly effective HR Management System for growing businesses in Nigeria. The platform enables easy employee data management, and helps businesses recruit, retain, and incentive employees.
