Meet Jack Ndahiro, Head of Logistics & Procurement at Zipline, the drone delivery company that’s revolutionizing healthcare across Africa. Starting as a flight operations engineer in 2017, Jack has been instrumental in scaling Zipline from 10 flights a day to over 500 daily deliveries across Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Côte d’Ivoire.
But Jack’s entrepreneurial journey doesn’t stop at saving lives through drone technology. When a business meeting in Nigeria went sideways because of cultural dress codes, Jack discovered an unexpected opportunity that led him to co-found Kigali Kaftan, now one of Rwanda’s leading fashion brands bridging East and West African styles.
In this episode, we dig into:
- How Zipline delivers life-saving medical supplies to 400+ health facilities across Rwanda in 15-45 minutes
- Why Rwanda became the world’s first country to implement national-scale drone delivery
- The fascinating story behind turning a cultural misunderstanding into a thriving fashion business
- How Rwanda’s Vision 2050 is using sports, culture, and technology to transform the nation
- Jack’s incredible family story as a genocide survivor and refugee who returned to help build modern Rwanda
From air traffic control towers to fashion runways, Jack’s story shows how innovation, cultural awareness, and entrepreneurial thinking can create multiple streams of impact. Whether you’re interested in African tech innovation, supply chain logistics, or cultural entrepreneurship, this conversation will leave you inspired by what’s possible when vision meets execution.
