Dozie Godwin

At Autochek Africa, I own the Import Operations P&L across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda, managing revenue, cost, margin, customer collections, FX conversion, supplier transfers and reconciliation. I helped build the unit into the company’s most profitable, overseeing roughly $5M of $9M annual GMV and reducing the buy-to-ship cycle from more than 90 days to about 21 days.

Previously at Paystack, a Stripe company, I led merchant risk, fraud, AML, compliance and payment operations across Nigeria and Ghana. I made second-level sanctions decisions, led investigations that shut down major fraudulent operations, directed a refund programme returning over 1 billion naira in transaction value, and partnered with payments and engineering to raise international payment success rates from the low 50s to above 80% in one quarter.

I’ve also supported enterprise integrations at Zapier and Duel Tech, co-founded an AI-powered career platform, and built multi-country teams and partner networks across African payment markets.
