Abraham Named Global Tech Hero
Ezekiel Okpuzor
The Connected Award has announced the immortalization of Abraham Ojes Eromosele as the 267th Certified Global Tech Hero, a distinction awarded in recognition of a career that has reshaped how value moves across borders and how underserved communities access stable, secure financial instruments. His professional biography traces a trajectory defined by technical mastery, entrepreneurial conviction, and sustained impact. From early experiments in integrating digital payments into logistics to the founding of an infrastructure-first company whose mission is to make dollar-pegged digital currencies practical and accessible for millions.
Abraham’s path in technology and finance is distinguished by the design and deployment of pragmatic systems that translate complex blockchain primitives into everyday utility. As Founder and CEO of Stable Payments Inc (Autospend.ai), he has architected a stablecoin payment infrastructure conceived to onboard over one million users into USD-pegged digital currencies. That ambition is matched by meticulous execution. The platform was built to lower the technical barrier for non-technical users, combining robust protocol support with intuitive product design so that merchants, remitters, and consumers alike can interact with stablecoins as a means of preserving purchasing power, reducing remittance costs, and enabling cross-border settlement. Under his leadership, the company forged more than fifteen strategic partnerships and launched initiatives to accelerate financial literacy and stablecoin adoption, bringing technical solutions into meaningful contact with real human needs.
The seeds of Abraham’s fintech leadership were sown in earlier ventures and roles that taught the art of product-market fit and growth. He co-founded and scaled Collect Africa Inc, a venture-backed company that transformed bill payment automation and expense management across markets that had long been dominated by manual, paper-based processes. That innovation eliminated tedious invoice handling, streamlined reconciliation, and delivered measurable efficiency gains for businesses. The venture attracted venture capital support exceeding four hundred thousand dollars from recognized investors, a validation of both the idea and its commercial potential. Metrics from this period provide clear evidence of impact: substantial month-over-month growth in business integrations, dramatic year-over-year expansions in user adoption, and quantifiable reductions in operational costs for partner organizations.
Before those entrepreneurial milestones, Abraham sharpened his product and growth instincts at technology and marketing firms where he combined engineering rigor with commercial sensibility. He co-founded a logistics platform at Zend Labs that integrated cryptocurrency payment options, demonstrating early on an ability to identify use cases where digital currencies could unlock new operational efficiencies. At Ringier Digital Marketing he oversaw substantial advertising portfolios, managing significant annual spends that deepened his understanding of customer acquisition, campaign optimization, and the scaling mechanics essential for any growth-driven enterprise.
He commands a working knowledge of multiple blockchain environments and stablecoin protocols, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and leading USD-pegged tokens such as USDC, USDT, and DAI. But his contribution is more than technical competence, it is the deliberate translation of protocol-level possibilities into products that regulators, businesses, and everyday users can trust and adopt. That synthesis, technical architecture aligned with regulatory navigation, product usability, and commercial partnerships, is what has enabled his solutions to move from proofs of concept to production-grade systems that genuinely strengthen dollar liquidity in fragile economic contexts.
Abraham’s work has been featured in leading trade publications, which have highlighted his role in advancing financial inclusion and pioneering the use of stablecoins for practical payments. His selection into selective entrepreneurial communities further attests to industry acknowledgement of his promise and performance. More importantly, the metrics tell the story of a sustained month-over-month integration growth, twofold increases in user bases across product cycles, and measurable uplifts in revenue and adoption for merchant partners who integrated his solutions.
“Today’s recognition celebrates not just a single achievement but the broader spirit of innovation and service that the award seeks to perpetuate. I am inspired by how technology leaders are redefining access to opportunity,” said Qazeem Oladejo, the founder of the awarding body, reflecting on the broader cohort of honourees and on the exemplary contributions that merit public acknowledgement. In particular, he noted the importance of leadership that combines technical excellence with community impact, a quality vividly demonstrated by the honouree celebrated in a recent induction. This shows the awards’ commitment to elevating figures whose work transcends product and profit to produce measurable social good.
