Bio

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.' My life has been filled with epiphanies and migrations. I was born in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, a small university town. 👉🏽 I was lucky to have constant access to a computer at age 16 - and this changed my life forever. I was one of top 3 best designers in my university by 18 and also developed many sites and apps. 👉🏽 Then I realized I wanted to build to impact hundreds of thousands of people through tech, so I moved to Lagos, the capital city of Nigeria to build my dreams. 👉🏽 I founded 2 category leading companies in Nigeria which are widely known and used by millions of people till today. The first one was Whogohost, the leading domain registrar in Nigeria with 100k+ domains under management. Then I founded Jobberman, a job site backed by Tiger Global and with 5m+ users. 👉🏽 After exiting Jobberman in 2018, I became bullish about learning from global bests, building for the world and deploying capital to support Africa. So in 2019, I migrated again to the US on an EB-1 (Visa for Extra Ordinary Ability) Visa. 👉🏽 Got introduced to Indeed and got a job within a week. At Indeed, I product-managed technical teams to build critical APIs, Indeed Gigs, and WFA.jobs (a top 10 app in the jobs category in < 1 year). 👉🏽 Now I am actively building on my lifelong commitment to unlocking prosperity for Africa and Africans. This I do through Fast Forward Venture Studio and I invite you to join us. DM to learn more. Fast Forward Venture Studio builds upon my experience as a founder and investor in 50+ startups over the last 5 years with a personal 16x multiple on invested capital; as well as my partners' experiences building unicorns and platforms to support growth of Africa's technology scene. 👉🏽 In my almost non-existent spare time, I like to be super helpful and I mentor talented folks looking to pursue their dreams as founders and product managers. Feel free to DM.
