Ed Magema has always been an outlier. From a non-descript high school in the belly of West Pokot, he emerged sixth countrywide in the 2009 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.
This earned him a place at the prestigious Harvard University where he studied mathematics as his undergraduate course – the only African student in his year.
It was at Harvard that Magema encountered his first computer. Now, he runs Univus – an education-technology start-up. He is also a top fintech consultant in Africa.
