This Friday, October 9th, for the 9th episode of “Building in Africa”, we are interviewing Isis Nyong’o Madison, CEO of BlissGroup, a pan-African omnichannel e-commerce and community platform for parenting content and baby care products
BlissGroup was formed in July this year from a merger between MumsVillage Kenya, which Isis founded in 2015 and BabyBliss Nigeria. The company seeks to tap into the Baby Care product market in Kenya, Nigeria, and eventually the rest of Africa.
Prior to starting MumsVillage, Isis had held leadership roles in Google, Viacom, InMobi, to name a few, and has garnered many years of experience in the world of media and technology.

“Entrepreneurs have to learn the power of networking and the value of mentorship, as these are the things that most entrepreneurs take for granted. And also they must know that opportunities will not come to them; they have to go out there and create them by knocking on corporate doors with proposals. Personally, I am where I am because of a business mentor who changed the way I see things.”
– Anda Maqanda, founder of AM Group in South Africa
