Tell me a bit about yourself and educational background?
I am from Abeokuta, Ogun State; raised partly in Oyo State, Lagos State and the United States of America. I completed both my bachelor’s degree and Master’s in the USA. I have work experience with top 5 companies in America. I worked under the Financial Management Program Internship with General Electric in 2007 and in 2008, I joined Bank of America Merrill Lynch as a Senior Analyst for the Global Markets & Investment Banking Group in New York. After 2 years at Merrill Lynch, I accepted an opportunity to work for the Central Bank of Nigeria as a Senior Supervisor which I did for a year and then proceeded to obtain my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) Degree from Emory University where I focused on Finance, Leadership and Entrepreneurship. While at Emory University, I received scholarships from the National Black MBA Association and The Executive Leadership Council and was a finalist for the Emory Goizueta Business School Entrepreneurship Scholarship. I was also elected Vice President of Multi-cultural and served as Continent of Africa Captain. Upon graduation from Business School, I worked round the world for Lars Magnus Ericsson as a global consultant and eventually as Head of Sales Governance for the MTN Account Sub Sahara Africa. I held that position until I decided to start Dressmeoutlet.com. I am married with two children..

I’m inspired by opportunities and right now, Africa has many! We just have to work much harder to make those opportunities attain great potentials.

What would you splurge on when it comes to fashion?
I splurge on unique highest quality products. I would buy bags from Nicole by Haguanna, Fine Jewelry from Ciana and Clothing from Kinabuti, Tiannah, Kiki Kamanu and many others. All on Dressmeoutlet.com
Where would be your best holiday destination?
Anywhere that gives me relaxation and peace of mind. I love my home, I love Lagos, I love Nigeria. For me, travelling is work so I tend to prefer to stay local when I have a holiday. But if I were to pick a few places I’d love to relax in if it didn’t entail long flights, I’d say Las Vegas, Hawaii, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and places with magnificent resorts. I love to enjoy new technologies and get pampered.
