Senior🎓
Top SchoolWol Akec is a London-based entrepreneur and software leader with 10 years of experience building products from startup experiments to production-scale payments and ML systems. As Co-Founder & CEO of Yaptrack he’s focused on making speaking progress visible for language learners, drawing on prior founder roles and product leadership at TrueLayer where he launched payouts and led an insights team that rebuilt classification with ML. He combines hands-on engineering (platform scaling, monitoring, and incident response) with product-first thinking, having led cross-functional teams to ship new products and reduce integration friction for customers. Comfortable moving between code, data science, and customer-facing product decisions, he has a track record of turning technical complexity into usable features and operational reliability. An early teaching background and repeated founder roles hint at a pragmatic, mentoring style and a bias toward shipping.
