Meet Our Founder

Shandukani Nthai

Founder & CEO

When I founded Africannova Solutions and NovaTech AI, I had one goal: to equip African businesses to compete globally while honoring our unique market realities. My journey as a Business Analyst and ISO Specialist revealed a critical gap - compliance is often seen as a box-ticking exercise, not a growth catalyst. At Africannova, we've rewritten that narrative.
