Adebayo Adeyemi plans to establish a diagnostic center business, including a telemedicine component, in West Africa; it will start in Nigeria, the largest market in the sub-region. His business model includes a “hub-and-spoke” approach to facilitate business expansion, as well as to resolve issues around the supply of constant electricity power and attracting and retaining quality medical personnel. The main facility will be developed in Lagos, the country’s economic capital.

Adebayo was formerly the Team Lead at the leading independent investment bank in Nigeria, successfully advising a number of large businesses in Nigeria in realizing their capital raising and expansion plans.
He is an Associate of the Nigeria Leadership Initiative, a unique platform from which high-achieving Nigerians can positively impact the country’s development. He is also an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.

Adebayo earned an undergraduate degree in Accounting from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. In his spare time, he volunteers with Fate Foundation (a Nigerian not-for-profit that promotes business and entrepreneurial development) to teach small business entrepreneurs about preparing marketable business plans and raising capital. He is extremely passionate about Nigeria and strongly believes in its potential for greatness.
