Timona Dhidha Jarha is a fintech entrepreneur and payments strategist with over 20 years of experience across North America and East Africa. He is Founder & CEO of Moja Switch and Founder & CEO of Bongo Pesa — companies focused on modernizing cross-border payments and financial infrastructure connecting global diaspora communities with African markets.

Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, Timona served as Director of Operations for a USD $40 million public-private malaria prevention initiative in Tanzania, leading nationwide operations and building a 7,000-retailer distribution network that powered one of Africa's first large-scale eVoucher platforms.

Timona's entrepreneurial journey began in 2009 with Shaka Mobile, an early MVNO serving the African diaspora through affordable communications and cross-border mobile money. He later founded Skool Pesa, a digital platform for school fee payments and institutional financial management. Today, through Bongo Pesa and Moja Switch, he is building the next generation of payment infrastructure to make cross-border money movement faster, simpler, and more accessible.

Yannick Yeboue is Co-Founder & CTO of Moja Switch, where he leads the architecture behind the regulated payment infrastructure that banks, fintechs, and remittance companies integrate against to move money between North America and Africa. He brings more than 15 years building payments, commerce, and large-scale digital infrastructure across North America.

Previously a senior engineer at Block (formerly Square), Yannick spent his career designing and operating the distributed, financial-grade systems that must stay reliable, secure, and available at scale. That experience shapes Moja Switch's foundational belief: moving money must be correct, auditable, and reliable before it is anything else.

At Moja Switch he owns the core switch end to end — from the ledger that serves as the single source of truth for every transaction, to the payment engine that recovers safely when a partner or rail fails mid-flight, to the compliance controls built to meet FINTRAC and Bank of Canada standards — alongside the developer-first API and sandbox that let partners integrate a full cross-border corridor in days rather than months. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he holds an Executive MBA and a B.S. in Computer Engineering.
