About

I’m drawn to products that make opportunity more accessible.

Headshot of Ivie Clifford

I’m Ivie, a product and strategy leader with 15+ years of experience across fintech, climate tech, mobility and digital platforms.

My career has taken me from helping families navigate housing decisions, to expanding cross-border credit access, to co-founding battery-swap infrastructure for electric two- and three-wheelers in Nigeria.

The industries differ, but I keep returning to the same question: where are people facing unnecessary barriers, and how can a product make the path clearer?

These days, I’m also exploring how AI can help teams make better decisions, reduce friction and expand access at scale.
