These female tech leaders have become faces of change in the industry, trying to rule out sexism from within and encouraging higher visibility and responsibility for everyone.

Such prominent and powerful women innovators continue to build and invest in future technologies and have set an example for others.

Here are the 10 dynamic women leaders as recognised by Coven Works in her efforts to celebrate #IWD.

The list is in no particular order:

Prior to OPay, she built and beta-launched Switch by Sterling Bank, a multi-currency digital bank with integrations to interest savings, health insurance products for the Nigerian middle class and Nigerians in the Diaspora to address multiple financial needs in one place, making her the youngest banking CEO in Africa at the time.
