Episode 139 with Andrew Mori, the CEO and co-founder of Deimos, Africa’s leading cloud technology and professional services company based in South Africa.

Deimos was born from the desire to place Software Engineering best practices and first principles at the heart of decision making and strategic direction at technology startups and enterprises, the Deimos story started in Lagos, Nigeria and Cape Town, South Africa.

Deimo's mission is to be the leading Cloud Native technology company in Africa. They are achieving this through helping African companies leverage cutting edge technology solutions as well as nurturing and growing technology talent on the continent. Since its inception in 2018, Deimos has been at the forefront of Africa's digital revolution, and the Financial Times recently recognised it as Africa’s fastest-growing IT and Software company.
