Building with conviction: Lessons from Salad Africa's CEO, Chikodi Ukaiwe
In this episode, we sit down with Chikodi Ukaiwe, CEO of Salad Africa, to explore the differences between conviction and resilience in entrepreneurship.
Drawing from his experiences at Salad Africa and previous roles at Jumia and Konga, Chikodi argues that conviction — knowing your "why" — is essential for founders aiming to tackle big problems.
He shares insights on how rigid resilience can hinder growth, the value of a no-code approach to early-stage problem validation, and the importance of cultivating team alignment.
