In this episode of the Inflection Podcast, I chat with Co-Founder and CEO at Join: Co.Lab, Sefunmi Osinaike.
Sefunmi shares his background in electrical engineering and his desire to solve the problem of lack of electricity in his home country of Niger. However, he soon realized that the issue was more complex and required addressing political and institutional challenges.
Sefunmi then talks about his fascination with the tech industry, particularly after learning about Dropbox and its focus on user experience. He shares how he started working on a to-do list app, which became a turning point in his career.
He discusses the work and mission of Co.Lab, which is to inspire, upskill, and support individuals in their career journeys, while also giving back to the community and promoting diversity and representation in the tech industry.
Don't miss out on this conversation with an incredible leader!
