Flutterwave Boss, Olugbenga Agboola’s Giant Leaps

Olugbenga Agboola, since he co-founded the company with his partner, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji in 2016, has become a dominant force in the African tech ecosystem, earning a reputation as one of the continent’s most influential and wealthy tech entrepreneurs. His visionary leadership as CEO has transformed the tech unicorn with a staggering $3 billion valuation into a powerhouse in the African fintech space.

It is a known fact that the businessman is fast becoming the recurring decimal in the fintech sector. Many in the industry across the shores of Africa have given thumbs up to his company, while also acknowledging his ingenuity.

In the last seven years, Agboola’s Flutterwave has recorded significant milestones in its journey to the top within the African tech ecosystem and secured investments from renowned venture capital firms and forged strategic partnerships with industry giants.

As one of the leading tech entrepreneurs in Africa, Agboola has built one of the continent’s most prominent tech brands.

He has also led the firm to provide customers and businesses in Africa and other developing markets with unlimited possibilities leveraging technology’s rapid adoption. The fintech firm’s remarkable growth trajectory has not gone unnoticed, as it is now considering an initial public offering on the NASDAQ Exchange.

Interestingly, despite his great accomplishments,  one can say that Agboola is an evolving story waiting to be told.  Since he started as a businessman, he has continued to ply his trade in such a way that makes many of his competitors green with envy. The young man was one of the select investors who accompanied President Bola Tinubu to India for the just concluded G20 Summit.

Just like a man destined for greatness, he has started reaping an instant fruit from the trip, as he successfully sealed a deal to expand his company’s reach to India. He announced a significant collaboration with IndusInd Bank Limited, one of India’s leading financial services providers catering to about 35 million customers. The partnership is a giant leap for Agboola and Flutterwave, this would further broaden his global footprint and streamline cross-border remittances and solidify his feet as a world recognised businessman.
