Young, Gifted & Black with Tolu Adebekun

I met Tolu earlier this year at a D&I conference organised by the one & only Andre Spence, thank you Andre!!

Tolu wowed the room, all 50+ attendees were transfixed on how eloquent he was and the messages that came from him, I was one of those attendees & we’ve spoken very week since

Tolu is Head of data visualisation at Sky, he has excelled through the ranks since completing their graduation program. 

Tolu is Nigerian, from the age of 3 years of age Tolu grew up in Hampshire with is parents and siblings from. He didn’t set the world at light at school, he was a rebel at times who waited until he went to college to unleash the focus and superb brain that seen him excel academically and shape his focus that he possesses to this very day, we have a great chat, it was fun as I already kind of knew his values and a tiny bit about Tolu, and he didn’t hold back in sharing with me how his life and career to date has unfolded, articulated in away that is true to the Digital Hub that is full of inspiration.  

As with many of my guests we ran out if time and we were only just getting started. 

Enjoy & thank you Tolu.
