Etop Ikpe, Nigeria

He is the founder of Cars45, a car buying service with the goal of helping hundreds of customers to sell their cars. The company has said that its “passion is to build the infrastructure for commerce that allows sellers and buyers of Nigerian used cars to exchange value quickly, cheaply and with unhindered access to independent relevant information required for decision making.”

Cars45 raised a US$5m Series A round from the Frontier Cars Group in May last year. Ikpe, who has a B.Sc (Actuarial Science) from the University of Lagos and experienced in automobiles, mobile communications technology, and marketing, was previously the Commercial Director of Konga, one of Nigeria’s largest e-commerce platforms, and formerly the CEO and Co-MD of DealDey, West Africa’s answer to Groupon.
