Tolú

I’ve spent the last 3.5+ years at BBC News working across the systems that determine how media reaches people: broadcasters, telecoms, publishers, platforms and partnerships. I’ve helped shape distribution, partner operations and audience growth across African markets, whether the audience gets there through an antenna or an app icon. Attention does not care whether we call it linear or digital.

I joined in 2023 in Business Development and now work in World Service Partnerships. Apparently, if you spend enough time helping partnerships actually work, somebody eventually puts Partnerships in your job title.

Before the BBC, I worked as a management trainee across operations and business support at DHL, contributed to product and data visualisation at Prifina, and worked on entrepreneurship through ADRELATED, a three person circular fashion and cultural commerce project where I ran publishing, inventory, sales, logistics and finance. I’m also a Director at Pathway Model School in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria, where I’ve been involved in my family’s education business for several years.

You can find the longer version of my work in my Professional Record, or book some time with me if you’d rather talk.

I’m also on X, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. You can check my GitHub too. I’m working on making the contribution graph offensively green by next year.

I also keep What I’m Reading, a small passion project where I collect the things I’m reading, thinking about and occasionally disappearing down a rabbit hole over.

Or just email me.
