FADÉ HERE

I'M TOTALLY AWESOME

 

Fade Ogunro is an ambitious techpreneur, with goals to impact youth entrepreneurship, digital literacy and self-sustainable employment in Africa. She is the Founder/CEO of BookingsAfrica.com; an online gig-work marketplace currently operating in 3 countries across Africa that seeks to formalize the informal sector and pioneer digital work across the continent.

She was recently appointed Africa Chair, Cherie Blair Foundation and has dedicated her professional life to the pursuit of gender equality, opportunity and prosperity across Africa.

In her fifteen-year career, which commenced at Google, she has been a vital part of several entrepreneurial and philanthropic organizations while maintaining a prolific voice in international media. Fadé is committed to inspiring a new generation of strong women and men to be the best version of themselves. She is highly effective as a motivational leader, naturally skilled in identifying gaps in the market and providing creative solution strategies.

In 2011 she co-founded Film Factory Productions, which created media content for Microsoft, Coca-Cola, MTV, and several other globally recognized brands. In addition to amassing over 1.5 billion views and winning several awards, these projects gave Fadé an in-depth knowledge of how business was being developed in Africa to launch Bookings Africa.

Speaker at the Cherie Blair foundation 1000 women campaign alongside Hillary Clinton and Juliet Gillard, Master card Foundation, Cannes Lions Festival, Web Summit, Nigerian Digital Economy, South  African Innovation Summit, White Space X and more.

It is this advocacy for women’s rights that led Fadé to partner up with The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women and become the first female African to be appointed as the Chairwoman for Africa.  The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women helps release the potential of women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries, and close the global gender gap in entrepreneurship. Since the Foundation’s inception in 2008, it has directly supported over 175,000 women across more than 100 countries.
 
While Fadé has many notable accomplishments to her name, she feels her work is just beginning.  She is committed to inspiring a new generation of strong women and men to be the best versions of themselves.  She firmly believes that digital adoption and inclusion are key to a brighter future.  By embracing Africa’s ever-growing collection of talented, driven professionals, she is ready to bring her vision to life; an Africa that works.
