Noting the limitations of existing payment tools, he set out to rethink how they are used and built an interface that makes money transfers simpler and more intuitive.

Casimir Akuete Domlan is a Togolese entrepreneur specializing in fintech solutions and the Chief Executive Officer of LeGombo, a financial technology company he co-founded with Attisso Luz Koumedzro.

Founded in 2020 as eGo Transfert, LeGombo allows users to send, receive, and manage money through a mobile application or online interface. The platform is designed to make everyday transactions easier by avoiding the frequent limitations users face with traditional mobile network operators and payment systems.

The start-up operates as an aggregator, connecting users to essential financial services such as mobile money, bank cards, and other payment methods. In addition to basic money transfers, LeGombo offers online payment solutions, including the ability for users to generate a virtual card for e-commerce platforms and digital services. In October 2025, the company expanded its operations to Benin and Burkina Faso.

Domlan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Software Architecture from the École supérieure de gestion, d’informatique et de sciences (ESGIS) in Togo, which he earned in 2017. He later received a certificate in Operational Unit Management from Ascencia Business School in France in 2021.

Between 2017 and 2018, he worked both as a Community Manager and an IT Technician for Orange in Burkina Faso, while also serving as a Community Manager for ASMADE, a Burkinabe NGO focused on improving living and working conditions. In 2021, he completed an internship in innovation project management at Togo Invest Corporation S.A.

Domlan has received national recognition for his work. In 2020, he won first prize at the OpenHack competition organized by NunyaLab and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). In 2022, he again won first prize at the Togo Digital Awards in the “Achievement of the Year” category.
