Binance has announced the appointment of Sammy Mutua as the new General Manager for Africa.
Mutua brings over two decades of experience in the financial services industry in Africa. He has previously worked and held senior leadership positions at M-Pesa Africa, Visa Sub-Saharan Africa and Letshego Group.
Mutua will work closely with regulators, industry players and institutional partners to support the development of sustainable digital asset ecosystems as part of his new role. His focus will include building trust, strengthening collaboration, and identifying use cases where blockchain can deliver tangible value.
“Africa represents one of the most important regions for the future of digital assets, with strong fundamentals driven by innovation, a growing digital economy, and clear demand for more efficient financial systems,” said Mutua.
“What is critical now is building in a way that is aligned with local realities, working alongside regulators, partners, and communities to ensure that digital assets deliver tangible value. I’m looking forward to contributing to that effort and supporting the continued development of this ecosystem across the continent.”
