Habyba Thiero has over 15 years of experience across banking, fintech and consulting. Her career is driven by a strong conviction: designing solutions that improve everyday life for Africans while sustainably strengthening the continent’s collective capacity for innovation.

She currently leads Africa Currency Network, a pan-African group committed to transforming Africa and reshaping its global image through the development of modern, inclusive and sustainable infrastructure across strategic sectors. 

This ambition is reflected in several complementary subsidiaries:

 
–       i-money Africa (fintech & financial inclusion)

–       Africa Smart Farming (agritech & agricultural productivity)

–       A.R.T (real estate & territorial development)

–       ORUN (cultural and creative industries, crafts & design)

–       KLOLÉ (audiovisual production)

–       Betters (gaming & e-sports)
 

Through these initiatives, her work is guided by key values: innovation, the promotion of African creativity, economic transformation and social impact. She advocates for an Africa that produces more, values its talent, protects its know-how, and tells its own story to the world.

Open to discussions around innovation, impact, cultural and creative industries, financial inclusion and the transformation of African value chains, she operates within a collaborative and forward-looking approach.
