About
With a robust background in venture capital and entrepreneurship, I have been instrumental in scaling businesses and driving innovation. I am currently a Strategic Advisor at Keble, where I focus on refining growth strategies and optimizing operations. As the Founder and CEO of Trove Finance, I lead Africa's premier neo-brokerage, facilitating investments in a wide range of financial instruments. My expertise extends to roles as an Expert at the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship and MassChallenge, where I support startups and foster innovation. Previously, I co-founded and served as CEO of DropBuddies, steering the company towards strategic growth. My educational journey includes a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, participation in the Venture Program at Harvard Innovation Labs, and completion of the Venture Institute at VC Lab.
