About

Hello, my name is Abimbola. I’m a passionate entrepreneur with a successful dual career: leading a thriving healthy food company with multiple locations and a dynamic HR consulting firm. Through my consulting firm, I’ve empowered businesses with training and advisory services in areas like HR management, talent development, business growth, and efficient startup and scaling strategies.

I’m drawn to mentoring because I believe in giving back and sharing the knowledge I’ve gained on my entrepreneurial journey. My focus areas perfectly align with the challenges faced by early-stage startups. I’m particularly interested in mentoring founders during the crucial setup phase, where a strong foundation sets the stage for future success. My expertise in HR, talent development, and business growth can be invaluable assets for mentees looking to navigate these critical areas.

Mentorship motivation

  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent

Giving Back to the Ecosystem:

I’ve been fortunate to build successful businesses in the healthy food and HR sectors. Now, I’m eager to pay it forward by sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of entrepreneurs. A thriving startup ecosystem relies on experienced mentors who can guide and support new ventures. I believe my mentorship can contribute to a more supportive and collaborative environment for all.

Making New Connections:

Mentorship is a two-way street. While I share my expertise, I’m also excited to learn from the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas of emerging entrepreneurs. This fosters valuable connections that can benefit both the mentee and me. The mentorship program presents a fantastic opportunity to build lasting connections with passionate founders and other mentors within the startup community. This network can lead to potential collaborations, partnerships, and knowledge exchange that benefit everyone involved.
