There is no gainsaying that cutting deals comes easy to genial billionaire businessman, Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh. For the serial digital entrepreneur and Chairman of Zinox Group, he has earned a name for himself through his visionary contributions to Africa’s ICT space. In January 2018, it took the deftness and patriotic zeal of Ekeh, through his Zinox Group, to outbid some international brands including a particular sector leader in the e-commerce market to acquire the then ailing but leading Nigeria composite e-Commerce giant, Konga. The Imo State-born Ekeh patriotically put everything into the negotiations and came out on top. And since the mega deal —a development that has been widely described as one of the most brilliant merger & acquisitions in the contemporary business world with Yudala, another e-commerce firm affiliated with Zinox Group dissolved into Konga— the company has astounded online marketplace experts and business watchers with its impressive growth trajectory, catapulting it to the peak of the sector and culminating in the brand becoming a highly sought after prospect for global investors.

Ekeh and his team have worked —and are still working— on their vision to make Konga, a top-of-the-mind brand. They have altered the equation in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy through innovation, experience and quality corporate culture. With the opening of the multi-billion dollar Africa’s first robotic warehouse on a sprawling land in Lekki, Lagos where Artificial Intelligence has been deployed to ease its entire operation, Konga has quietly risen like a phoenix and transformed into a viable brand that may list on the NYSE and the London Stock Exchange in the nearest future.
