Brian Ndege Nyabayo is a Kenyan fintech and technology professional, entrepreneur and business transformation specialist with more than a decade of experience working at the intersection of finance, insurance, technology, enterprise systems and digital transformation.
He is the Founder and Operations Director of GetCovered Kenya, an insurance comparison and digital insurance platform that helps customers explore, compare and purchase insurance products from licensed insurers in Kenya.
Brian's work focuses on using technology to simplify complex financial processes — from insurance and lending to enterprise resource planning, financial reporting, customer platforms and digital operations.
His professional experience spans fintech, insurtech, ERP implementation, financial systems, data analytics, digital products and business process transformation across Kenya and East Africa.
Who Is Brian Ndege Nyabayo?
Brian Ndege Nyabayo is a Kenyan entrepreneur and technology consultant whose career has centred on solving operational and financial problems through technology.
Rather than approaching technology as an end in itself, Brian's work has generally focused on the connection between business processes, financial systems, data and the people who use them.
His experience includes working with financial institutions, fintech businesses, technology companies and organisations implementing digital platforms to improve how they operate.
This background eventually led to the creation of GetCovered Kenya, where Brian applies his experience in financial technology and operations to the insurance industry.
Brian Ndege and GetCovered Kenya
Brian is the Founder of GetCovered Kenya, a digital insurance platform focused on making insurance easier to research, compare and purchase.
GetCovered Kenya allows customers to explore insurance options across categories including:
- Car insurance
- Health insurance
- Travel insurance
- Life insurance
- Motorcycle insurance
- Business insurance
- WIBA insurance
- Home insurance
- Personal accident insurance
- Marine and specialised insurance products
The platform's approach is built around a simple idea: insurance should be easier for customers to understand and access.
Brian's role combines business strategy, operations, technology, insurance distribution and product development.
At GetCovered Kenya, he works across the business rather than treating technology as a separate function. This includes developing digital customer journeys, improving insurance quotation processes, working with insurer relationships, overseeing operational systems and building technology around the practical realities of the Kenyan market.
GetCovered Kenya is licensed as an insurance intermediary by the Insurance Regulatory Authority of Kenya (IRA) under licence number IRA/05/45715/2026.
From Fintech to Insurtech
Brian's work in insurance technology is an extension of his earlier experience in financial technology.
Before building GetCovered Kenya, he worked on digital financial products and technology infrastructure for organisations operating in lending, finance and insurance.
His experience includes:
- Financial technology consulting
- Core financial systems
- Lending technology
- Enterprise resource planning
- Financial data and reporting
- Business process automation
- Customer-facing digital platforms
- ERP implementation
- Technology operations
- Digital product implementation
- Data analytics and business intelligence
This experience has given Brian a practical understanding of how financial products move from an idea into an operational technology system.
That perspective is particularly important in insurance, where customer experience depends not only on a website or mobile interface, but also on underwriting processes, insurer integrations, payments, documentation, compliance, operations and claims.
Financial Technology and Digital Transformation
Brian has spent much of his professional career helping organisations use technology to improve financial and operational processes.
His work has involved connecting business requirements with technology implementation — translating operational problems into systems that teams can actually use.
Areas of experience include:
Fintech
Designing and implementing technology solutions for financial services, lending and insurance businesses.
Enterprise Systems
Implementing and configuring ERP and business management systems to improve financial and operational visibility.
Financial Data
Building reporting and analytics environments that help organisations understand portfolios, transactions, collections, performance and operational trends.
Digital Products
Working with product and development teams to take financial and technology products from requirements and design through implementation.
Business Process Transformation
Mapping existing processes, identifying operational gaps and introducing technology to make workflows more structured, measurable and scalable.
Experience in Financial Services Technology
Brian's experience includes working with financial institutions and fintech organisations on technology and business transformation initiatives.
His work has included areas such as digital lending, loan management, financial reporting, collections, customer management, ERP systems and business intelligence.
He has also worked with technologies and platforms used to support financial operations, reporting and enterprise workflows.
This combination of financial services knowledge and technology implementation gives Brian a perspective that sits between the traditional roles of a business consultant, product manager and technology specialist.
His focus is not simply on building software.
It is on understanding what the business needs the system to accomplish, how people will use it, how the data should flow and how the resulting process can be measured.
Technology, ERP and Business Systems
Another important part of Brian's professional background is enterprise technology.
He has worked on ERP implementations and business systems designed to bring finance, operations, sales, inventory and customer processes into a more connected environment.
His experience includes technologies such as ERPNext, financial management systems, CRM workflows, reporting platforms and business intelligence tools.
He has also worked with Metabase and financial data analytics, using structured data to help businesses move from manually prepared reports toward more accessible operational intelligence.
For Brian, successful technology implementation is not simply about installing a system.
It requires understanding:
People → Processes → Data → Technology → Reporting → Decision-making
That framework continues to influence how he approaches digital products and business transformation.
Building Digital Products in Kenya and East Africa
Brian's work has also extended beyond financial services.
He has participated in technology projects involving education, digital infrastructure and enterprise technology across East Africa.
Through his work with technology and education initiatives, he has been involved in the implementation of digital infrastructure designed to help schools access computers, connectivity and digital learning tools.
This experience has reinforced one of the themes running through Brian's career: technology is most valuable when it solves a practical access problem.
Whether the problem involves insurance, finance, education or business operations, his approach is to combine technology with an understanding of the local operating environment.
Brian Ndege's Approach to Technology
Brian's approach is grounded in a combination of business thinking, technology implementation and operational execution.
He believes technology projects should begin with the problem rather than the software.
A successful digital system needs to answer several questions:
- What business problem are we solving?
- Who will use the system?
- What process are we improving?
- What information needs to be captured?
- Where should the data go?
- How will performance be measured?
- What happens when the system encounters a real-world exception?
- How does the technology improve the customer's experience?
This practical approach has shaped Brian's work across fintech, insurance, ERP and digital transformation.

This includes the digital experience surrounding insurance comparison, quotation, purchase, payment and policy documentation.
The objective is to make the insurance journey more understandable and accessible while maintaining the operational and regulatory requirements of the insurance industry.
