Chidi Ajaere

Chidi Ajaere leads GIG Group, whose businesses include GIG Logistics and GIG Mobility, extending transportation and delivery infrastructure across West Africa and into international markets. The group operates in a part of borderless commerce that receives less attention than fintech but is no less essential: physically moving people and goods across jurisdictions. GIG's logistics network helps connect merchants, consumers and diaspora communities, including through international delivery services. Ajaere belongs on the Borderless 100 because digital commerce only becomes genuinely borderless when the physical economy can keep up. Before APIs connected African markets, buses, trucks and parcels did.
