LATEST MAGAZINE

The CIO Africa magazine is your source for the most current thinking on the pressing issues at the intersection of business, technology, and leadership. We work hard to bring you insightful articles and commentaries from leading minds across industries to help you stay on top of the trends shaping our world.

The July 2026 editions of CIO Africa magazine bring together three distinct technology voices shaping Africa’s digital direction. East Africa’s Jimmie Mwangi (DTB Group) champions a people-first approach to enterprise technology, while South Africa’s Gareth Redelinghuys (TrendAI) pushes data sovereignty into the critical realm it deserves, and West Africa’s Echezona Agubata (Coronation Merchant Bank) applies an engineering mindset to transform enterprise technology. All three editions explore how AI is exposing the slow pace of enterprise decision-making and raise the timely question of whether AI could help solve the mass fish deaths on Lake Victoria.
