FOUNDER and CEO
"In a world of constant change, those who are empowered to adapt and innovate will lead the way."                                                       

Dayo Adewale

I am a results-driven Financial Inclusion Innovation Manager, Business Coach, Management Consultant, and Agile Business Transformer, with extensive leadership experience as an MD/CEO, Credit Analyst, and Investment Partner. My career is built on a foundation of empowering businesses through financial innovation, driving growth, and leveraging technology to foster inclusion and sustainability.

My career began in 2009 with AB Microfinance Bank, a multinational institution headquartered in Berlin, Germany, where I rose from a Trainee Loan Officer to Senior Credit Analyst, mastering the intricacies of credit analysis, SME financing, and lending operations.

At Letshego Microfinance Bank, I served as a Branch Manager and key trainer, delivering comprehensive induction and seasonal training programs on lending technology while helping launch innovative products like Education and Health Sector Loans.

As Head of the Commercial Department at Nigeria’s first education-focused microfinance institution, Edfin Microfinance Bank, I led efforts to expand market reach and drive customer-centric solutions. I later assumed the role of MD/CEO at Lifegate Microfinance Bank Limited, where I guided the bank’s operations and strategy towards sustainable growth.

At Payhippo Nigeria, I held dual roles as Head of Sales and Credit, where I combined my expertise in business development and credit analysis to enhance client acquisition, streamline credit processes, and ensure effective risk management. My leadership enabled the company to scale its operations and deliver tech-enabled financial solutions that empowered underserved businesses.
Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Benson Idahosa University and a Master’s in Business Administration (Finance) from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. I am a certified member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers Nigeria (CIBN) in microfinance and have earned a Certificate in Digital Strategy for Business from Columbia Business School (Emeritus).

I am further equipped with certifications in Data Analytics, Business Continuity, Leadership, Creativity and Innovation, Disruptive Leadership, Design Thinking, Emotional Intelligence, and Strategic Planning. These credentials reflect my commitment to continuous learning and my ability to navigate complex challenges with innovative, data-driven solutions.

With over a decade of impactful leadership, I bring a proven track record in delivering financial solutions, fostering business transformation, and driving sustainable growth for organizations and communities alike.
