Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Phiona Opoto is the founder and chief executive of Varona AI.

With a foundation in data science and deep ties to both Silicon Beach's senior technology leadership and Nairobi's fast-rising engineering community, Phiona bridges two of the world's most dynamic tech corridors. She launched Varona on a simple conviction: that African enterprises deserve the same caliber of operational intelligence infrastructure available to their counterparts anywhere on the planet.

Phiona brings a hands-on, client-first discipline to every engagement—matching technical rigor with a sharp read on Kenya's shifting regulatory and commercial terrain. She leads a team with more than 50 combined years of experience and whose collective track record spans infrastructure modernization, resilience planning, elastic compute, and applied machine learning—with deep roots in sectors from retail and hospitality to highly regulated industries.

She is based in Nairobi.
