Skydd, Nigeria’s first insure-fintech company, is on a mission to make protection the foundation of every financial journey, with Chituru Nsirim and Anu Oyeleye at the helm.
The company believes the traditional model of protection is broken, where insurance is treated as a standalone product, disconnected from everyday financial lives.
Skydd is building a platform where protection sits alongside savings, payments, wallets, and other financial services, helping people pursue their goals with greater confidence.
Leadership Team
Chituru Nsirim, a Founding Executive at Skydd, oversees Business Development and Operations, with over a decade of experience in banking and insurance.
Anu Oyeleye leads Product and Marketing, bringing over a decade of experience in fintech, including founding her own company and leading product teams at Nigeria’s fastest-growing technology companies.
Together, Chituru Nsirim and Anu Oyeleye combine deep industry expertise with product innovation to redefine how protection is experienced in Nigeria.
Their combined experience has been instrumental in shaping Skydd’s strategy, from building partnerships and commercial strategy to leading product teams and driving operational growth.
Expansion and Growth
Skydd is already serving over 20,000 active customers, with positive EBITDA and positive cash flows, making it one of Nigeria’s emerging technology companies.
They are now entering their most ambitious phase, opening their protection infrastructure to businesses, enabling them to embed protection directly into their products and customer journeys.
This expanding ecosystem will combine protection, savings, digital wallets, and payment cards within a single platform, giving partners the tools to offer protection seamlessly.

While Skydd’s journey begins in Nigeria, its ambition is to build the infrastructure that powers protection across Africa, creating a future where protection is a natural part of everyday life.
The company’s growth is driven by its commitment to innovation and customer-centricity, with a focus on creating a holistic financial experience that integrates protection, savings, and payments.
Embedded Protection
By allowing businesses to embed protection into their products, Skydd is creating a new paradigm for financial services, one where protection is no longer an afterthought, but a fundamental component of everyday financial experiences.
This approach has the potential to increase access to protection for millions of people, providing them with greater peace of mind and financial security.
Skydd continues to grow and expand.
Its innovative approach to protection will disrupt the traditional insurance industry and change the way people think about financial security.
Skydd’s story shows the power of innovation and disruption in the financial services sector, and its impact will likely be felt for years to come.
The company’s commitment to embedded protection is a key differentiator, enabling businesses to offer protection as a natural extension of their existing products and services, rather than a separate and distinct offering.
By integrating protection into everyday financial experiences, Skydd is creating a more inclusive and equitable financial system, where individuals and businesses can access the protection they need to thrive.
