Bio
Yewande Adenekan
Olawale is a Financial Management Guru. When I was doing my University of Wales MBA program, he tutored a group of students that were taking the Financial Management module. He was a subject matter expert and so knowledgeable in all the areas he tutored us on, also very good at impacting knowledge. There was never a dull moment in his class.
Rotimi Odusola
Wale is a truly knowledgeable and passionate accounting, finance and audit professional with an uncanny ability and genuine wilingness to transfer knowledge. His passion for supporting other people to succeed is remarkable and he encourages you to keep going until you achieve your goal after which he is your greatest cheer-leader. Wale is committed to excellence at what he does and always wants the best outcome without compromising integrity. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Wale for greater leadership roles in his career.
