There are 26K influencers with a reach over 20,000!I’m Adeola Adedokun, a Nigerian entrepreneur, architect, and business leader passionate about building African businesses that can compete globally.
My journey sits at the intersection of fashion, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, architecture, technology, and African culture. I’m the founder and CEO of businesses spanning apparel manufacturing, fashion, printing, e-commerce and emerging fintech, giving me a unique perspective on both the creative and commercial sides of business.
I founded Global T-Shirt Factory, an apparel manufacturing company producing clothing, uniforms and merchandise for businesses and organisations. I also lead Platnum Apparel, an affordable-luxury fashion brand with roots in Nigeria and an international outlook.
Beyond business, I’m passionate about personal development, entrepreneurship, African innovation, lifestyle, fashion, golf, architecture, and the realities of building businesses as an African entrepreneur.
I have a BSc in Architecture from Covenant University and an MSc in Business Strategy & Entrepreneurship from Cardiff University Business School. My experiences between Nigeria, the UK and East Africa have given me a broad perspective on culture, business and the African diaspora.
I’m particularly interested in collaborating with brands that have a story to tell—especially in fashion, technology, business, lifestyle, travel, automotive, finance, entrepreneurship and African-focused products and services.
My content is a mix of business lessons, behind-the-scenes entrepreneurship, fashion and personal style, African culture, leadership, lifestyle and the occasional dose of humour. I believe business content doesn’t always have to be serious; sometimes the most memorable lessons come from simply sharing the real journey.
What makes me different?
I’m not just a creator talking about entrepreneurship. I’m actively building companies, manufacturing products, designing brands and navigating the realities of doing business across Africa and internationally.
I’m always open to discovering interesting brands, products and experiences that align with my audience, values and entrepreneurial journey.
