Turaco (registered in Nigeria as Turaco Inclusive Limited), Africa’s leading insurtech, has announced the appointment of Toba Obaniyi as its General Manager in Nigeria.
He has taken charge of driving business growth and acquiring strategic partnerships. He will lead business growth through strategic partnerships to distribute Turaco’s embedded insurance solution
Obaniyi’s arrival heralds an exciting chapter for the insurtech, as it rapidly scales its Nigerian operations. Toba brings to the role deep expertise with over 10 years of experience in enterprise sales of tech solutions. He has earned widespread recognition as the driving force behind WhoGoHost, Nigeria’s prominent cloud solutions provider. As pioneering CEO, Toba steered the company through a remarkable transformation, propelling it from a one-man operation to the largest web-hosting company in West Africa.
“We are thrilled to welcome Toba Obaniyi to Turaco,” Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ted Pantone, said.
“With 80 per cent of Nigeria still uninsured, but high levels of fintech penetration, Nigeria provides an ideal opportunity for Turaco’s B2B2C, tech-enabled model. In the first year of our Nigeria operations, we saw a high demand for insurtech solutions from both distribution partners and customers. Toba’s leadership and expertise in the region will enable us to meet that demand through additional distribution partnerships and scale our Nigerian sales, ultimately enabling us to insure more lives,” he added.
Speaking on his new appointment, Obaniyi said: “I am honoured by this opportunity to lead Turaco in Nigeria and contribute towards achieving the company’s ambitious vision of insuring the next one billion lives.”
Turaco has already established itself as the frontrunner in the insurtech space across Africa, and I look forward to building on this strong foundation to establish additional partnerships in Nigeria with other leading tech-enabled companies. Working closely with our Nigerian team and partners, we will deliver the Turaco approach of using innovation and customer-centricity to disrupt the insurance industry and provide this vital risk-mitigating tool to millions of families across the country.”
