Talk of innovation and business development, our Man Crush Monday, Oluseye Soyode-Johnson comes top of mind. He delights in creating and driving strong platforms that help identify, nurture and accelerate nascent talent and solutions to empower and support the lives of people on the African continent.
He currently works at Ericsson, where he helps to accelerate the potential of some of the largest technology, media, and telecom (TMT) players across Africa by harnessing the industry’s unrivaled reach and technology in the design of rich digital products.
Oluseye is also the Regional Partner at the Africa Technology Foundation, an organisation focused on providing global resources and visibility to technology and media ecosystems across Africa. His wide knowledge of constituent perspectives as well as access to local and international networks serve in driving the organisation’s engagements.
A highly sought-after public speaker, Oluseye is a regular face at large technology industry events notably DGC Dubai 2020, the MENA region’s largest gaming conference. He believes in the power of games to educate and drive sociological change by promoting unique perspectives and representing marginalised characters.
We admire the various ways Oluseye is using digital technology to challenge the prevailing status quo and bring about transformative change. These and more make him a worthy Man Crush.
