How Lanre Bamisebi Became the New ‘Whiz Kid’ in IT World

Having a diligent, passionate, and talented individual as a model is always a good thing. This is one of the advantages of Lanre Bamisebi in the current world of information technology (IT). With his accumulation and natural knack for industry, Bamisebi is the archetypal figure for a balanced IT career mixed with experience working with other people, and being recognised by those that know him as a problem fixer.

Bamisebi is not a normal entrepreneur. Apart from a wide breadth of industry-extensive experiences, Bamisebi also has a social presence that allows him to interact with all kinds of people across the African continent. Since emerging on the scene about 20 years ago, Bamisebi has managed to build such a strong track record that he is now highly sought after and considered to be an established hegemon in IT in Nigeria.

For many people, Bamisebi only gained prominence when Access Bank appointed him as its Executive Director of IT and Digitalization. However, Bamisebi was already doing amazing things before that appointment. For example, he was the MD of the Fintech arm of Equity Bank, Finserve Africa, as well as the Group Director for IT & Operations for Equity Group Holding Limited (EGHL), Kenya. Moreover, long before Access Bank noticed him, the defunct Diamond Bank Plc had Bamisebi over as the Group Chief Information Officer, a position he did so well at that he left the bank as a Deputy General Manager.

So, when it comes to Bamisebi, one must consider industries. Despite his superior grasp of all things IT, Bamisebi has proved himself to be valuable in multiple roles. This is why he is as much a hegemon in IT as he is in talent management and development or consultancy. Moreover, with his experience from serving across 22 African nations, Bamisebi can be considered an adept of excellence and relevance.
