Product management expert Gabriel Abhulimen has continued to set himself apart by focusing on what matters while mentoring the next generation in product management.
Now the Product Lead at IobyteSolutions Limited, Abhulimen’s journey from customer care to product management has been nothing short of remarkable. But what makes his story special is his commitment to mentoring the next generation of Product Managers.
Since joining CrediPay, he has transformed the company’s approach to product development. His impact can be seen in “FastPay”, a feature that has reduced transaction times and redefined user experience.
“My goal was simple: create something that users didn’t have to wait for,” he says. FastPay’s success is a testament to Abhulimen’s vision and his ability to anticipate user needs, with 60% of CrediPay’s users adopting it within three months.
Abhulimen’s influence extends far beyond CrediPay. He has become a mentor to aspiring Product Managers, not just through his eBooks—The Role of User Experience in Product Management and The Role Data Plays in Driving User Experience for a Product—but also through his hands-on User Experience Bootcamp.
“Mentorship is about more than teaching,” Gabriel explains.
“It’s about inspiring others to think critically, understand users deeply, and
make data-driven decisions that serve real needs.”
Through his boot camp, Abhulimen has trained dozens of Product Managers to create customer-centred products, emphasizing the need for data to guide design choices. “Data isn’t just numbers on a screen,” he says.
“It’s a reflection of real people and their experiences with a product. My goal is to teach others to see that and to act on it.”
For Abhulimen, product management is about more than features or metrics—it’s about creating value that resonates with users. His vision for Iobyteand his dedication to mentorship has set him apart as a leader in the industry.
With plans to develop tools that reach underserved communities, Abhulimen is poised to leave an indelible mark on the future of FinTech.
His journey reminds us that technology, when done right, has the power to bring people together, solve real problems, and make the world a more connected place.
