Apostille USA
Leadership Team
Rugi Kavamahanga
CEO & Co-Founder
Rugi Kavamahanga is the CEO and Co-Founder of Apostille-USA, the leading American platform for global document legalization. A former Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali, he began his career empowering small entrepreneurs and women’s cooperatives before returning to Oakland, California, where he organized community cleanups in the city’s toughest neighborhoods and helped drive grassroots political reform.
Graduating with an MBA during the 2009 financial crisis, Rugi built his own path rather than wait for permission — creating ventures defined by purpose and resilience. He later led marketing and community at Shima Capital, advised 160+ startups across the Web3 ecosystem, and co-founded Coin Locker Group, which helped raise over $150M for blockchain projects. Fluent in five languages, he builds systems of trust that connect humanity and technology.
