“Infrastructure begins with staying close to the problem and insisting on truth in data.”
Abdul Abdulrahim co-founded Stears with a singular obsession: to eradicate the information asymmetry that clouds African economies. Observing that global investors and local operators were navigating multi-billion dollar markets based on rumor and fragmented surveys, Abdul set out to build the definitive financial and economic intelligence layer for the continent.
Under his technical and strategic leadership, Stears evolved from an insightful digital publication into a sophisticated data and analytics powerhouse, partnering with international financial institutions, development bodies, and multinational corporations to deliver real-time macroeconomic datasets.
His operational philosophy centers on intellectual honesty and technical rigour. For Abdul, high-quality data is not an intellectual luxury; it is the fundamental infrastructure required to price risk accurately and mobilize capital into high-conviction African enterprises.
He continues to mentor emerging data engineers and software architects across Lagos and London, advocating for rigorous methodology as the true engine of African economic transparency.
