Iyin \"E\" Aboyeji built two unicorns from Lagos, Nigeria. What does it take to build not just one, but two billion-dollar companies? In this episode we merge two conversations which took place over the course of two years.
When E co-founded Andela in 2014, Nigeria's tech ecosystem was still quite young. His audacious bet on Nigeria's potential wasn't his first venture, but it would become the catalyst which helped to transform Africa's tech landscape forever. In this deeply personal conversation, E takes us through his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Africa's most influential tech leaders. We explore how his childhood shaped his leadership philosophy, the role his faith plays in decision-making, the personal cost of blind ambition, and E's next chapter.
