He is the co-founder and CEO of Chipper Cash, a financial technology company that provides mobile-based cross-border payment services in Africa.
Under their leadership, Serunjogi and his co-Founder Maijid Moujaled have built Chipper Cash from a little-known app touting the potential of cross-border payments to a Pan-African unicorn.

Serunjogi has been recognized for his entrepreneurial efforts and was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2021.
