Bio
Rosemond Phil-Othihiwa
Gabriel is an executioner. One of the most brilliant and nimble minds I have worked with. Gabriel takes ideas and translates them to bite sized, practicable and usable solutions. It's been a delight working with him and I would proudly say that Gabriel is an asset to any team.

Gabriel Balogun is multi-faceted in his thought processes. He is very spontaneous when it comes to thinking up ideas, setting objectives, including strategies on achieving them. It has always been an inspiring time working with and getting to know GB. He's strong on integrity and ingenuity - a perfect blend, I believe, for a well-rounded learning and development specialist.
