Recently, Africa witnessed the appointment of the youngest CTO as the continent's fastest-growing e-Commerce firm, Patricia technologies, makes history as the very first organisation in Africa to appoint a CTO (chief technical officer) in his twenties.

The office of the chief technical office (CTO) is the highest technology executive position within a company and leads the technology or engineering department. This position is straddled with the responsibility of developing strategies for using technological resources in alignment with the company's business needs.

Benjamin Oyemolan, a graduate of Computer Science from the prestigious University of Lagos., joined Patricia Technologies in 2018, as a CIO/IT director. His elevation to CTO (chief technical officer) came at no surprise to his colleagues who already admire his skills, intellect and personality and largely because Patricia is home to some of the brightest minds who were also employed under 30. The company celebrated his appointment amidst pomp and cheer from his colleagues who were excited for what the future holds for Patricia.



The new CTO who is currently running a masters program is set to take Patricia technologies to new technology and innovation heights, as the company continues to lay the blueprint for Africa's e-commerce future.
