The story of TrainWise is more than just financial training, it’s about two people who came together after a chance encounter at a Conference in 2022. Mohammed Vadee and Erica Wicomb, both passionate about financial empowerment, shared a deep frustration with the industry's lack of inclusivity. Their mutual belief in the power of financial literacy led them to establish TrainWise. They envisioned a future where financial advisory services extend beyond mere product offerings—where advisors understand client needs, respect diverse values, and contribute to long-term financial well-being.
Mohammed, a seasoned expert in technology and financial services, had witnessed firsthand the significant gaps and misconceptions surrounding Islamic finance, particularly within his own community. He saw families struggling without access to Shariah-compliant financial solutions and recognised the urgent need for accessible, ethical financial education. Driven by a commitment to empowerment and inclusion, he set out to bridge this knowledge gap, ensuring individuals and businesses could make informed financial decisions aligned with their values.
Matched with Erica’s extensive background in sustainability, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, the partnership was a natural fit. Erica, known for her resilience and passion for empowerment, had firsthand experience navigating systemic barriers that marginalised communities face. She recognised education as a powerful tool for unlocking opportunities and was inspired by Mohammed’s mission to demystify Islamic finance.
Mishkah Adams, our Co-ordinator, is driven by a passion for transforming the financial industry through innovative, tech-driven training programmes. With strong organisational, analytical, and communication skills, she plays a key role in helping our team thrive. She earned her BCom in 2024, majoring in Financial Accounting and Information Systems—an ideal fit for TrainWise’s mission.
