Dineo Seakamela

Chief Operating Officer, Black Tech Mecca

Chicago

Born and raised in the heart of South Africa, Dineo moved to the USA four years ago in pursuit of a rich, global experience. Dineo's current goal is to make tech accessible to continental and Diasporic Africans, by using data to define and retell the story of our ecosystem. In her role as the COO of Black Tech Mecca—a data-driven think tank for the Black tech community—she wears multiple hats in the branding, operations, and programming departments, developing and implementing initiatives that facilitate connections, supply resources, and help spark innovation in the community.

Dineo's ultimate intention is to establish an operational framework that creates a new generation of global Black tech practitioners who challenge limiting norms and breakdown stubborn barriers.
