ABOUT

Built from the ground up.
Now building for others.

I'm a Partner at Boston Consulting Group, where I've spent 8+ years advising Fortune 500 companies on AI-driven strategy, enterprise transformation, and operating model redesign across 50+ engagements.

I hold a PhD in semiconductor materials research from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a Master's from École Polytechnique in France, and a BSc from the University of Lagos. Before BCG, I co-founded a tech startup and worked at IBM.

Beyond consulting, I sit on the boards of companies across fintech and telecommunications, and I'm an active angel investor in early-stage African startups.

Originally from Nigeria, I live in Dallas with my wife Adeola and our two boys. I'm passionate about helping people and businesses see what's possible — and build it.
