Uzoma Dozie
With suave looks and varied interests in
food, travel, photography, and startups,
it is not surprising to see why Uzoma
Dozie and Diamond Bank are celebrated
for their exploits in the Retail market. Our
Managing Editor had the opportunity to
have a brief chat with the visioneer just
before the Knowledge Sharing Session
organized by The Spark’s team to discuss
the merger with young entrepreneurs
By Oge Modebelu
Uzoma is one of the few C-Level executives
in Nigeria with an active Instagram
account, connecting with the young
populace who hold him in high esteem as
a role model. While acknowledging the attention
and expectations that come with it, he said that
his principle on life revolves around trying to be
oneself and building on one’s strength.
“Success comes from helping people and focusing
on what you are good at.”
His foray into the core business of banking began
in 2006 with building a personal banking division
at a time when technology started playing a big
role in the industry.
“Banking became more than just providing a
current and savings account and basic banking
services. Technology made us do so much more
and create more products and services than we
could ever do.”
“With our shared platform we
can do so much more for women
and youth, and for FinTech, a lot
of value will be added.”
