Team Profile – BetaLife Health

Mubarak Ayanniyi (Co-Founder & CEO)
An health-tech entrepreneur driven by personal loss—after losing my aunt to postpartum hemorrhage, I went further to build a solution that ensures no mother dies due to lack of blood. With a background in digital health innovation and public sector collaboration, I lead the vision, partnerships, and strategic growth at BetaLife. I have represented Nigeria at international platforms including the G20 Digital Alliance Summit in India, and was selected for global programs like Draper University and Google’s AI Fund.

Okwoli Mathew (Co-Founder & CTO)
Okwoli is a full-stack engineer with expertise in building scalable digital health systems. He leads product development, including BetaLife’s AI-driven blood matching system, and the BetaBot WhatsApp chatbot that helps health workers request blood in under 5 minutes. He also designed BetaLife’s cold chain monitoring system that ensures blood is stored at safe temperatures during transit.

Anionu Gift (Chief Marketing Officer)
Gift leads BetaLife’s stakeholder engagement, community outreach, and public education campaigns. She is passionate about maternal health and has organized successful blood donation drives across multiple cities, including BetaLife’s recent partnership campaign with ACT Foundation to strengthen blood supply in Northern Nigeria.

Together, this diverse and mission-driven team combines technology, healthcare insight, and real-life urgency to tackle Africa’s maternal health crisis head-on.
