Senior🎓
Top SchoolSabelo N is a product and commercial leader with 15 years' experience building revenue-generating platforms across fintech, insurtech, and embedded commerce in Africa and the Middle East. As a founder and fractional CPO he bridges product, engineering, and P&L, having grown portfolios to R360M and scaled platforms serving 2.4M+ users while owning R60M+ P&Ls. He has a track record of designing products that sell through partners—embedding commerce and finance into banks, insurers, and OEM ecosystems at Samsung, Tree, and IMS. Practically fluent in both sprint-level metrics and boardroom negotiations, he pairs hands-on delivery (zero-to-one builds, Supabase POPIA-compliant platforms) with GTM strategy in regulated markets. Notably, his device financing and telematics strategies boosted ARPU nearly 3x and achieved R285M GWP in 15 months, proving commercial outcomes drive his product decisions. Open to senior product and commercial leadership roles where product strategy and revenue growth are the same conversation.
