Seun Owolabi

Seun learned to walk and talk in Lagos. Since then, his adventure-seeking legs have carried him to 20+ cities around the world - with longer stops in San Francisco, Lyon, Berlin and Amsterdam. Impatiently optimistic about changing the world, he is very keen about Technology and its inherent power to empower people, restructure institutions and build nations. He has executed growth and digital transformation initiatives for some of the most impactful companies - some highlights being GlaxoSmithKline, International Finance Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Venture Garden Group, MTN and Diageo. He's also led the creation of two digital think-tanks that developed its own Intellectual Property. He's an A.I for Good + Cannes Young Lion alumni; Google Black Founders Fund + Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Award + French Tech Ticket winner; facilitator at OpenCon - and, in what might be a fun fact, obtained the license to run the first-ever TEDx event in Sub-Saharan Africa. He has taken on interesting roles in a variety of fast-paced for-profit and social enterprises, with a focus on fusing tech with Business Strategy, Storytelling and Growth. When he's not working, Seun spends way too much time watching videos of ungovernable cats.
