Kelvin Agaje is a cybersecurity leader with around a decade of experience spanning security operations, security architecture, governance, risk, compliance and cyber assurance across Africa.

He currently serves as African Cyber Assurance Senior Partner at dLocal, a global payments company operating across emerging markets. In this role, Kelvin works across multiple African jurisdictions, helping translate regulatory and cybersecurity requirements into practical security controls, assurance programmes and business decisions.

Before joining dLocal, Kelvin was SOC Manager and Cybersecurity Lead for Africa at TeKnowledge Security Services, a global managed security services provider. His work went beyond running security operations. He led and developed security teams, designed cybersecurity and maturity assessments, supported enterprise security architecture engagements, worked across presales and customer advisory initiatives, and helped organisations understand and manage cyber risk across different business and regulatory environments.

That combination of operational security and governance experience gives Kelvin a perspective that bridges the SOC, regulatory requirements and executive decision-making. His work focuses on making cybersecurity practical: understanding the risk, determining what actually needs to be implemented, and communicating it in a way that technical teams, business leaders and regulators can act on.

Kelvin speaks on cybersecurity leadership, security operations, cyber assurance, financial services and payments security, regulatory compliance across African markets, and career development for cybersecurity professionals.

He holds the CISSP, CompTIA SecurityX and CySA+ certifications and is passionate about developing cybersecurity talent and strengthening security capability across Africa.
