About me

Product strategist. Project leader. Researcher at heart.

I'm Jonathan Joba Aina — a Senior Product Manager and Project Manager based in Abuja, Nigeria, with 7+ years of experience delivering digital payment and fintech products across Nigeria's financial ecosystem.

At Moneta Technology, I own the product roadmap for payment infrastructure solutions, having generated ₦1B+ in transaction value and driven 40% mobile banking adoption growth across three Microfinance Banks. I've led cross-functional teams of 12+, managed CBN regulatory compliance, and delivered 5+ payment gateway integrations.

I'm also the founder of Ryters Spot Limited — a specialist research and advisory firm — and co-founder of Flogeros Impact Limited. I believe great products are built at the intersection of clear thinking, deep empathy, and disciplined execution.
