Team - The future needs us all

Bayo Adelaja, Founder and Chief Do-er

In 2018, Bayo was named one of the most influential women in social entrepreneurship in the UK, by Natwest bank. Bayo Adelaja, is an award-winning entrepreneur passionate about helping brands and businesses excel at creating sustainable social impact.

For four years, she worked at the London School of Economics, helping governments and large charities figure out the best ways to achieve their impact goals. While there, she realised the reason a lot of great initiatives failed to get off the ground was a lack of well organised grassroots activism, particularly in the business space.
