Ebere Okonkwo

Hi, I’m Ebere Okonkwo — a Human-Centered Product Manager, mental health entrepreneur, and founder of Mycarebuddy, a social enterprise transforming how individuals and organizations across Africa access mental health care.

I bring over 4 years of experience leading product initiatives, managing cross-functional teams, and building digital solutions that improve lives. My journey blends product strategy, user empathy, and behavioral insight — shaped by my background in mental health counseling and social impact entrepreneurship.

From concept to launch, I help organizations clarify their vision, prioritize features, and deliver products that are not only functional but deeply meaningful to users. I’ve led multiple tech and rebranding projects — from the first web application of Mycarebuddy in 2020 to its full rebrand and new digital platform in 2023.

I’m also the author of Guided Steps, a book inspiring young adults to discover purpose, build emotional resilience, and grow in faith and self-development.
