OUR STORY

How It Started.

Wikrena was born from lived experience. In 2015, our founder began his career in retail — first as a storekeeper, then as a branch sales manager in Enugu. It was there he discovered how deeply data shapes decisions, growth, and change in business.

While selling for his aunt and managing day-to-day operations, the lesson became undeniable: data is not just numbers — it is the backbone of better decisions.

During his undergraduate studies, he saw how impactful research depends on the proper use of data. These experiences sparked a conviction that would become Wikrena’s founding purpose.

“Data is not just numbers — it is the backbone of better decisions.”

— Chris Awoke, Founder

The Spark

Working in retail in Enugu, our founder saw firsthand how data drives business decisions. The seed of Wikrena was planted.

2018

The Problem Became Clear

During undergraduate studies, he noticed the lack of practical data guidance available to African students and businesses alike. A gap he resolved to fill.

2021

Wise Breed Analytics Founded

2023

OUR PURPOSE

Why we exist. Where we're going.

MISSION

Build Africa's data and AI infrastructure.

To equip African businesses with the data intelligence they need to grow, train the professionals who will drive that transformation, and build the systems that help organisations work smarter — for the long term.

V

VISION

A data-driven Africa.

We envision a continent where businesses grow with precision, policymakers decide with evidence, and every African professional has the skills to participate in and lead the data economy.

HOW WE WORK

The principles that guide us every day.

01

Make It Matter

We build what solves, teach what works, and create only what drives real impact. If it doesn't move people or business forward, we don't do it.

02

Stay Relentlessly Curious

We question, explore, test, and learn. Curiosity drives mastery, and we never assume we know it all. Growth lives at the edge of our comfort zone.

03

Own the Outcome

Responsibility is our culture. We show up fully, take ownership, and fix fast when things don't work. No excuses, no finger-pointing.

04

Build to Uplift

Our mission starts with clients, learners, and teams. We measure success not just by revenue — but by how many people we genuinely empower.

THE TEAM

The minds behind the magic.

A small, focused team with deep expertise, driven by a shared conviction that data can transform Africa.

THE BIG PICTURE

We are building for Africa's next chapter.

We are building something bigger than a consulting firm or a training academy. We are building the data and AI infrastructure that Africa’s next economy will run on — the talent pipeline, the business intelligence, and the systems that help the continent grow with precision.

This is a long-term mission. And we are only getting started

Our focus is to bridge the gap between data and impact, and create solutions and talent that drive growth, innovation, and a stronger Africa.
