Founder Profile
A Ugandan-Canadian banker, financial literacy educator and entrepreneur building Money Wing around a problem he has experienced personally, worked with professionally and taught across communities.
Founder Market Fit
Alex's story is relevant to Money Wing because the business is built around questions he has repeatedly encountered in banking, financial education and life across different financial systems.
His experience in Uganda exposed him to financial inclusion, small business realities and the importance of accessible financial knowledge. His Canadian banking experience added a second perspective: how newcomers and diaspora households learn a new system while continuing to manage responsibilities across borders.
Financial education connects those experiences. As a Certified Financial Literacy Trainer accredited by the Bank of Uganda and a contributor to the Be Money Wiser initiative, Alex has spent years helping people make sense of money before asking them to adopt financial products.
