  • Venue: Zone Tech Park, Gbagada Expressway

Meet our speaker

The masterclass will be led by Ayo-Bankole Akintujoye, a strategy and transformation expert with over 15 years of experience guiding financial services, insurance, and oil and gas projects. 

Throughout his career, Ayo-Bankole has held leadership roles across sub-Saharan Africa and worked with organisations such as KPMG, PwC, Phillips Consulting, and C2G Consulting.

Beyond consulting, Ayo-Bankole is also an entrepreneur. As the founder of Fedhagap, he helps MSMEs overcome working capital challenges that often limit their participation in larger supply chains. He is also the co-founder of Fedacash, a fintech startup that addresses liquidity constraints through invoice discounting and community-led solutions, empowering African SMEs to thrive.

What to expect

Learn how to set the right goals

A key part of the masterclass is a deep dive into setting effective goals for growth. You’ll learn how to set ambitious yet realistic goals that align with your vision and drive long-term success.

Q&A and networking
