150-word biography

Olawale Olalekan is a technology founder, entrepreneur and global business builder. He began his career in enterprise technology, working across Salesforce, business analysis and solution design before moving into leadership and then entrepreneurship. He is the founder of Afroshipper, a technology-powered cross-border logistics platform; Gevento, an event technology platform; and Tech Launch, a software product and technology consulting company. Olawale speaks and writes about company building, technology, leadership, execution and global business, and mentors professionals moving into and through technology careers. His work is grounded in operating experience rather than theory: building products, hiring teams, serving customers and making the decisions that decide whether a company survives.
