Every innovator’s goal is to create a product or service that can create an impact and transform people’s lives. For Nicolas Bry, Founder of Orange Startups & Intrapreneurs Studio, that journey starts with identifying problems in the market and seeing where your product or service can be used.
In this episode of Innovation Storytellers, Nicolas and I talk about how Orange Money became the go-to mobile finance service for over 50 million people in Africa, and how they were able to expand to the Middle East.
Nicolas also shares how their background in telco has helped them tap into the market and build a reputable brand for Orange Money.
