The People Behind Basket

Operators, not just advisors

Basket Advisory is built and run by people who do the work in the Ugandan market every day — combining deep financial and compliance expertise with the technology that delivers it.

Kennedy is the founder of Basket Advisory Technologies, where he conceives the ventures, assembles the teams and tools to deliver them, and operates them in the real Ugandan market. He builds much of Basket's infrastructure himself, pairing hands-on technical work with the commercial and strategic leadership that turns platforms — from payroll to gig-worker credit — into working businesses. He also serves as a commercial lead at Xente, a Bank of Uganda–licensed payments platform.
