On this episode of the LollieTasking Podcast, I sit down with Zita Oby Agwunobi, a technology lawyer, data analyst, and founder of Iverify.ng, a digital verification platform focused on identity and credential verification across Africa. Zita shares how her journey began in law, where she encountered repeated cases of identity inconsistencies and fraud, which led her to recognize a deeper gap in how identity is structured and verified. She walks us through how she turned those real life observations into a business, starting manually with a small team and building Iverify step by step. We also explore the realities of building a business, from starting with very few clients to navigating finances, leadership, hiring, and putting the right systems and processes in place to support growth. Zita speaks honestly about what it takes to keep going, even when progress feels slow, and why consistency, structure, and learning are critical as you build. Beyond business, we talk about how she approaches life as a founder, wife, and mother, and the role of boundaries, support, and empowerment in creating a business that can function beyond you. Zita also shares practical insights on growth, why starting small is not a disadvantage, and how taking the next step, even without full clarity, can change everything. Beyond her work, Zita is passionate about mentoring founders, advancing digital inclusion, and empowering communities through innovation and advocacy.
