The former Chief Financial Officer of mPharma, Nana Dufie Addo, has announced the launch of her new venture, Celerey, an AI-powered wealth planning platform that provides personalized advice and on-demand consultations with accredited finance experts to help individuals make informed financial decisions.
Wealth planning and management have traditionally been reserved for the affluent, leaving many professionals, entrepreneurs, and middle-class individuals without access to high-quality financial guidance. Drawing from her extensive career in investment banking, private equity, and financial operations, Addo observed that financial security often felt like a privilege rather than a right. Many individuals lacked access to the networks and tools necessary to build long-term wealth. Celerey aims to dismantle these barriers by providing a platform where expert financial guidance and tools are no longer exclusive but available to all.
The duo shaping the future of wealth management.
Celerey is founded and led by two finance powerhouses, Jude Addo and Nana-Dufie Addo.
Jude Addo is the Founder and CEO of JA Group, an investment firm with interests in financial services, technology, real estate, and natural resources. The firm manages over $150 million in assets and has advised on billion-dollar transactions. JA Group’s venture capital arm has backed two African unicorns, Flutterwave and Andela, and other high-growth companies such as Jetstream, Autocheck, and mPharma. Addo is also a Co-Founder of Cornerstone Partners, a UK-based venture capital firm that supports diverse founders.
Nana-Dufie Addo is a seasoned finance and investment professional with extensive experience across various public and private sectors. Prior to co-founding Celerey, she was the Head of Special Funds at the Development Bank of Ghana, where she established and operationalized the bank’s equity fund-of-funds vehicle, aimed at providing capital for SME-focused private equity and venture capital firms. She also served as Deputy CEO & COO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre. As CFO of the healthtech company mPharma, she led financial operations, secured over $45 million in funding, improved profitability, and oversaw operations across eight international markets.
