Description

In our continuing effort to increase our awareness of the tech scene in Africa, we chat with Caribbean Data Scientist, Kevan Rajaram, who did a short stint working as the Head of Business Intelligence for a company in West Africa, specifically Côte d’Ivoire (the Ivory Coast).

During our conversation, Kevan shared with us, among other things:

  *  how he ended up in Côte d'Ivoire;

  *  his first impressions of the tech ecosystem and daily life;

   *  what stood out for him regarding how data regulation and digital sovereignty are handled; and

  *  lessons he learnt and has brought back with him to the Caribbean.
